Today, 15 July 10, at a very high afternoon high (7.8 feet), about 300 sandpipers and plovers, mainly Semipalmated Sandpipers but also a few dozen Least Sandpipers and Semipalmated Plovers, congregated just beyond the second exclosure. The incoming tide surrounded that exclosure, and may have washed through it by the time the tide was at its height. The first photo shows one of the Least Sandpipers; the second shot captures the semipalmation of the Semipalated Sandpiper (on the left). The third picture shows about 100 birds of the shorebird flock.
