I made a quick afternoon stop at the Deer Creek WA at Dick Road. From the road there were 60-80 shorebirds within 100 yards – Pectoral, Least, Semipalmated, and Solitary Sandpipers were identified. More distant were many more shorebirds, but other than seeing some yellowlegs, I was not able to identify them.

I didn’t visit the viewing blind, but being on the east side of the marsh I’d guess a morning visit there with good optics would yield better results.
