I stopped by Hog Island WMA over the weekend. A few shorebirds were
at the last pond on the left. See eBird list below.
I also photographed a Marbled Godwit at Lynnhaven Inlet and a
Grasshopper Sparrow in Rockville, just NW of Richmond. There were at
least 5 on Rockville Rd and a few connecting roads. Are these more
common in VA than the Carolinas?
