10 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.  the shorebirds as advertised.  A bit windy, but good 
light.  Still three Buff-breasted Sandpipers and one Short-billed Dowitcher 
present.  Lots of Pectorals, Semi Sands, Leastie Beasties, Killdeer and a few 
Semi Plovers.  Ten or more Lesser Legs and a Stilt Sandpiper.  I wiffed on 
Baird's and White-rumped, but that is as likely to be my lack of experience 
as to their non-presence.  The four Blue-winged Teals still there also.

Twice the whole flock (a couple of hundred birds), took to the air; once by 
overflight of a juvenile Harrier and the second time when a Coopers juvenile 
scouted the area.
