I arrived  3:00 to 3:30 pm.  Found the objective cover for my scope
jacket.  Good diversity but no Western Sandpiper.  Black-bellied Plover 1,
Stilt Sandpiper 5, Least Sandpiper 10, Semipalmated Sandpiper 1, Pectoral
Sandpiper 10, White-rumped Sandpiper 30, Long-billed Dowitcher 1 (heard
peep or keek call), 1 Wilson's Snipe, Lesser Yellowlegs 20, lots of
Killdeer.  Birds were hard to count.  Lots of movement and flying around.
At about 5:30 pm a Peregrine Falcon came in and flushed most of the birds
but some came back.  Looked hard at the Semipalmated Sandpiper to assure
the ID and it was not a WESA, wrong back color (gray brown of SESA rather
than cold gray of WESA, uniform color of back in scapulars, no reddish,
bill not right for WESA.  At least I got the scope objective back.  Hope
someone finds a WESA again.
