A single Stilt Sandpiper was at Paper Mills Flats this morning with over 400
other shorebirds. After some time Kye Jenkins joined me and we able confirm
all of my finds with the exception of the Western Sandpiper that we were
unable to relocate.

I had hoped to find more herons there; but we only Great Blue and Green.
