Three of us checked out Unit B of Pipe Creek and the Pearson Rd pond of Pickerel 
Creek (across from the orchid field).  Both had ample mudflats and a good 
selection of shorebirds, to wit:

Semipalmated plovers and killdeer (some young killdeer at Pickerel)
Least, semipalmated, solitary (Pipe only), and pectoral (more at Pickerel) 
sandpipers
Lesser yellowlegs
Short-billed dowitchers

Also at Pipe, quite a few snowy and great egrets and a few great blue herons 
plus Caspian, common, and Forster's terns.  Many swallows massing at both, 
including purple martins at Pickerel.
