I just got a look at Larue and Jackie's survey from this morning. They report fairly low numbers of shorebirds at Puddlers (and almost none at Knox-Marcellus), but they did see 28 dowitchers here, more than have been lately. The highlight at Mays Point was a reported 8 DUNLIN, as well as over a hundred other shorebirds, mostly peeps.
