I just went out and looked at these shorebirds, what a great collection of birds, nice find Steve! Shorebirds: Black-bellied Plover: 8 Killdeer: 2 Lesser Yellowlegs: 6 Dunlin: 1 Least Sandpiper: 5 Pectoral Sandpiper: 3 Dowitchers: about 12 Unfortunately, many took off while I was watching; all of the dowitchers, 6 Black-bellied Plovers, and the Dunlin all headed north. I think all of the dowitchers were Short-billed, but I didn't get a chance to check carefully. 2 Black-bellied Plovers, the yellowlegs, Killdeer, Least Sandpipers, and Pectoral Sandpipers remained. I may try to check this spot again tomorrow afternoon. This is a nice rejuvenation to my Union County Big Year (I've been too busy to do much Union County birding lately), I should now be up to about 125.
