On Thursday, September 29, 9 hardy people
We started off down the Quonset loop because there were shorebirds, pushed against the shore. We did find Greater Yellowlegs, along with Great Egret's and a Great Blue Heron.
We then returned and went onto the Beach Loop with the rack line and puddles of water were high on the beach. There were a large number of shorebirds feeding and were basically ignoring us as we walked by. Among the shorebirds that we found were Semi-Palmated Plovers, Semi-Palmated Sandpipers, Least Sandpipers, Sanderlings, Dunlins, and Ruddy Turnstones. White-rumped Sandpipers flew by and we could visualized their white rump. At one point, there was a question whether or not a Western Sandpiper was among the Semi-palmated Sandpipers.
At the end of the beach, looking across to Barney's Joy there was a large concentration of Double-Crested Cormorant's, Gulls, and Terns.
