East Harbor SP is under an hour drive east of  Magee Marsh.  Water has been
drawn down in Middle Harbor and the shorebirds  are appearing.

At 5:45 this  evening, the shore of Middle Harbor viewed from the main road
leading to the  beach, held 58 Dunlin, 5 Lesser Yellowlegs, 1 Greater
Yellowlegs, 1 Dowitcher  sp.

Driving north past the entrance to the park until the road ends  allows you
to walk out the dike on the West Harbor channel and look southeast  into
Middle Harbor.  These birds were further out, but I found 50 Dunlin,  17
Lesser Yellowlegs, 1 peep, 4 killdeer, 31 Great Blue Herons, 10 N. Shovelers,  8
Green-winged Teal, 2 Caspian Terns and at least 35 smaller terns.

If  you need a break from Warbler Neck at Magee, this may be a nice stop
for you.
