A single marbled godwit was present on the sandbar Tuesday evening.
The bird was feeding on the mudflats when I arrived around 6:45PM and was
still present
when I left 2 hours later. It was on the ground the entire evening, with
just a brief flight from
one side of the mudflats to the other.
Even without the godwit, a decent gathering of shorebirds were present:

least sandpiper - 10+
semipalmated sandpiper - 20+
killdeer - 6
semipalmated plover - 8
sanderling - 5
s.b. dowitcher - 1
lesser yellowlegs - 3
