[Susan Heath <sheath@xxxxxxx>]

All,

Greg and I headed over to Westmoreland County this morning in hopes of 
finding the Buff-breasted Sandpipers that Fred Atwood had on Thursday.  
We did not find any of that species unfortunately, but we found a bunch 
of other shorebirds in the same field (along Horners Mill Road near 
Leedstown) including a Baird's Sandpiper.  It was way out in the field 
foraging in the dry dirt by itself.  The other shorebirds were in a 
small wet area on the eastern end of the plowed field.
