Below: A reminder to scan all flocks! Two county rarities make this flock of starlings a lot more interesting. The juvenile Buff-breasted Sandpiper is a fourth county record for Charles. The Ruddy Turnstone is also one of few records here. Spotted by my friends Ron Gutberlet and John Hubbell while we scanned a plowed field. Click for larger version.
