Folks
When I checked at 11 AM and 1 PM the two Buff-breasted Sandpipers reported 
from the turf farm on Rt. 228, west of Waldorf, neither were present.  The 
turf farm people were harvesting turf and some road construction was going 
on in the back road.  I may check again tomorrow.  If I do and find them, I 
will report them.
