Looking for Shorebirds?

Friends,
This may be a "long-shot," but I wonder if there is anyone who would like to
go looking for am. golden plovers and buff-breasted sandpipers with me
Friday?
I was scheduled to go out with Gene Scarpulla to Hart-Miller Island
yesterday, but some burst water pipes in my yard prevented me from leaving
the house Saturday. I was especially frustrated to miss this trip, because
my occupation will tie up my Saturdays for a couple of months, and so I
won't be able to return to the Island until both species are, most likely,
long gone. However, even though Saturdays are tied up, I should be able to
take Friday (September 25) for birding.
I realize that a number of people in MD Osprey have already described
promising places for the birds, and I could try to find these locations
alone if I must. But, as I have seen neither species before, and as none of
the described locations are familiar to me, I would truly enjoy having
someone else along to confirm any sightings.
Anyone interested? I would be willing to drive and/or meet someone at a
specified location. Any other suggestions?
Thanks.
