Hello again
I forgot to add that at the ESNWR there is a build up of Tree Swallows . On
Saturday I guess a number close to 500 to 600 + & today a number close to
700 to 800 + birds .

Hello all
Just got back from the Eastern Shore where Pat & I did a little weekend R&

R . We went to do a little catch up birding on some missed species from the
Spring visit . Glad to see that a few folks back here got to see the Sedge
Wrens & Sandhill Cranes . Sorry Mike but I got your message & I am glad you
got to see the Wrens . Any way it was good to get away & it was nice to run
into Ned in search of the Elegant Tern . I too missed this bird . Pat & I
went out at low tide this morning & we stayed up to 10 am . No Tern in sight
. Some Shorebirds made up for it . We had the following this morning where
the Elegant Tern should of been .

Black -- bellied Plover
Semipalmated Plover
Am. Oystercatcher
both Yellowlegs
Willet
Spotted Sandpiper
Whimbrel -- at Willis Warf
Sanderling -- at senic pull off CBBT
Semipalmated Sandpiper
Western Sandpiper
Least Sandpiper
Short -- billed Dowitcher

Over on the trail near Swans Cove we had a couple of Warblers as a bonus

treat . Yellow , Prairie , & Common Yellowthroat .

All in all a quite relaxing weekend & good birding .
