At the Harney Road Ponds:

killdeer, 25

semipalmated plover, 3

pectoral sandpiper, 25 or more

stilt sandpiper, 1

least sandpiper, 20

upland sandpiper, 4  (flew into the field across the road from the west pond

                                while we were looking unsuccessfully for a reported

                                American golden plover)


We also checked out the Ott House in Emmittsburg, for lunch.  A good

hamburger at a low price.


Best,
