I stopped by Oxbow lake on my way to work yesterday and had 1 Pectoral Sandpiper and 29 Wilson's Snipe (at least - every time I counted I found more), all on the large exposed mudflat across the lake.  The Snipe looked great in the morning light, but a little too far away for good photos.  I also saw a Ribbon Snake on the path while I was walking out.  The complete list is below.
