I was able to bird on the north end of Assateague most of yesterday, January 19.
Highlights were shorebirds:
Willet (western): 2 (one on beach, one at Eagle's Nest flats)
Western Sandpiper: 2 (one at northmost flats, one at Eagle's Nest flats)
Least Sandpiper: 1 (at northmost flats)
Plus the usual Dunlin ++, oystercatcher, bb plover.
Also 48 Snow Buntings, pics at:
