Dan et al:

This looks like a good list.  I personally missed some of these -- 
the Sanderling, definitely.  My only suggestions for additional 
numbers would be:

TUNDRA SWAN  at least 7 on the swing back to the HQ area
LONG-TAILED DUCK  at least 12 on the run back to the dock at Tilghman's Island

Thanks very much, Dan, for organizing this most enjoyable trip.
