A large flock of shorebirds was roosting In the WE2 parking lot this afternoon at high tide, undoubtedly avoiding the blowing sand on the beach and marina sandbar. Among the birds were four American Golden Plovers, a Western Sandpiper, and three Short-billed Dowitchers as well as many Red Knot, Dunlin, and Black-bellied Plover. Two Lesser Black-backed Gulls were also in the parking lot and an additional Lesser Black-backed Gull was at Field 6.
