Easily a couple thousand shorebirds seen this morning at Ward Avenue and
north. Mostly Western Sandpipers with high numbers of Dunlin, Least
Sand, Sanderlings, and Semi-palmated Plovers. At least 10 Ruddy
Turnstones, 30-50 Whimbrel, one Marbled Godwit, a couple of Short-billed
Dowitchers, and a few Snowy Plover. They were all terrified by a young
Peregrine. Several Caspian Terns flew by and one White-Winged Scoter
made an appearance.
