On our way to Rehoboth on Friday August 20, Sherry and I stopped at Port
Mahon Road to view the shorebirds.  It was around 4 PM, and the tide was
high.  We saw

Ruddy Turnstone-several
Sanderling---about 20
Least Sandpiper---several
Semipalmated Sandpiper---several
Western Sandpiper---1 (right next to a semi, providing an excellent
comparison)

All these were seen at close range where the road first reaches the shore of
Delaware Bay.  Other notable birds seen there were Seaside Sparrow and
Northern Harrier.
