I stopped by the mouth of 4-mile Run late Sunday (9/13) morning, and saw
the following shorebirds:

2 American Golden-Plovers
3 Black-bellied Plovers
4 Pectoral Sandpipers
87 Lesser Yellowlegs

Also there were:

6 Blue-winged Teal
3 No. Pintails
1 Great Egret
2 Pied-billed Grebes

Plus the usual Caspian & Forster's Terns, Laughing, Herring, Ring-billed &
Great Black-backed Gulls, Mallards, Canada Geese, Great Blue Herons, etc.

My high count for Lesser Yellowlegs at that spot was last Friday, when I
counted 99.  Also saw a Dunlin there at that time.

Best regards,
Paul Pisano
