I wanted to tack on to Bill Heck's posting. I observed pretty much the same species list as he from the boardwalk. I also visited the Baldridge boat ramp and noticed the same Pectoral Sandpiper behavior (and was similarly curious, but have not researched it yet). In that collection of birds I also noticed one STILT SANDPIPER. Feeding over the water and perched on distant rocky islands were 3-4 Caspian Terns and 2 smaller terns - too distance to make out.
