I spent about 2 hours scoping any areas here that were promising, mostly on the new wetlands off Egypt Rd. (as described earlier by Robert Royse). This area (DeLorme p.67, D-6) is accessed from a parking area just north of New Holland, a 5- to 10-minute walk out an old farm road to the wetlands, one of which is under construction. Along the way, a Black Willow swamp area held several migrants, including Black-throated Green, Magnolia, and Nashville Warblers and Common Yellowthroat. Highlights from the wetland area: Am. Golden-plover - 2 Stilt Sandpiper - 2 Dowitcher sp. (distant, prob. Short-billed) - 2 Lesser Yellowlegs - 30-40 Greater Yellowlegs - 4-6 Semipalmated Plover - 4 Pectoral Sandpiper - 5-10 Least Sandpiper - 10-20 Killdeer - 50ish Horned Lark - 50-100 The Dick Rd. wetlands, now without water (but I'd hesitate to say "dry"), also had 2 Am. Golden-plovers as well as many Killdeer. The reservoir itself was still largely full, with only a slight bit of habitat at the upper end. I'm not sure if the US Army Corps of Engineers is beginning to draw it down yet, but this area definitely deserves some attention as the season progresses.
