Here's my first contribution to the new "Greg Miller Shorebird Net":
The "Public Container Pad" outside of Upper Marlboro (where the Eurasian
Wigeon was for 2 winters) pond is very low this year (duh) and yesterday had
at least 2 Sollys, a spotty and several Leasts. Last year it was quite a
good spot right thru October. It was much lower last year, when i first
started looking in August.
The other great thing about it is that it is a recycling drop-off! Of
course, i guess most folks have curbside these days, for for we-sorts out in
the sticks, its a great way to "justify" all that gas over a bunch of silly
shorebirds :) There are also Meadowlarks in the adjacent field, which i
anyway don't hear much from anymore. Best to go there before noon (it opens
at 7) because light is better. It is open 7 days.
