Hi Everyone,

I ran into Elaine Hendricks at the continuing shorebird show at the turf farm on Hampshire Rd in Wicomico Co this afternoon.  The shorebirds are frequenting 2 large pools at the end of the road by the RR tracks.  The eBird list follows to report the continued presence of HUDSONIAN GODWIT and STILT SANDPIPER; we also saw a WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPER today.  Many, many thanks to Sam Dyke for the great find!

Have fun,
