The Triadelphia Lake Rd. shorebird extravaganza continued into this
afternoon. There was a large amount of churn, so, hooray, the goodies
patronized both sides.
Least were quite abundant, as were Killdeer.
A lone Western visited both sides, and I noted at least two Semi-palmated
Sandpipers that materialized on the Montgomery shore after a big flush on
the Howard Side. Two Baird's also appeared and showed white closely on the
MontCo side. I also noted a White-rumped and multiple Pectorals. Early on
I spotted two Lesser Yellowlegs on the MontCo side, but ceased to pay any
further attention. As I left, a female Wood Duck went squeaking downstream.
A fellow in the parking lot (non-birder) informed me he'd seen a Bald Eagle,
and an Osprey or two, but I did not observe any.
