[jay <azure.jay@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

VA-Birders,

It's been raining fairly hard all day on the Eastern Shore at the Festival 
according to Kurt Gaskill, who phoned in a few sightings from a little while 
ago this morning.  I'm hoping the front passing through from the west pushes 
the tropical storm remnants offshore for tomorrow when I plan to head down 
there.  Kurt was viewing the west side of Arlington Road about a mile south of 
Custis Tomb, and he relayed the following:

74 Black-bellied Plover
1 American Golden Plover
2 Sanderling
2 Western Sandpiper
3 Pectoral Sandpiper
31 Dunlin
13 SBDO
1 LBDO

Many of the birds are actively catching earthworms in the bare patches of 
ground in the field.

Best,

Jay Keller,
Arlington
