Took two trips after reading some of the posts..
Not much happening at the Eastern Shore. I did get a horrible picture of a
Rail at Willis Wharf. At least I think it's a Rail. Could someone please
take a look and tell me if it is, and if it's a Clapper Rail? (2 images) It
came out of the reeds and preened itself endlessly. Far away and hard to get
a good shot..

Also, could someone tell me if these are Stilt Sandpipers or worn Willets?

Two days later we went to Bethel Beach.
Bird of note for me at least was a Black-bellied Plover (2 images)

Lots of Terns and hundreds of fish washed up and died on the beach. Gulls
making short work of them..
And can someone tell me what this is that the Osprey has? He flew off with
it, and then dropped it in the grasses and didn't go back to retrieve it.
I've noticed they never go back for dropped items. I didn't hike over to
find it. Needlenose Gar? Eel?
