Oxbow Lake is not sporting huge mudflats this migration, but has attracted some sandpipers:

Spotted Sandpiper
Solitary Sandpiper
Least Sandpiper
Pectoral Sandpiper

Most were seen from Big Pool Bluff looking in the area around the Egret Tree. The trees on Big Pool Bluff make it quite challenging to see the sandpipers. If you want a map with the landmarks mentioned in my posts, just email me offline. Below is the complete list as posted in eBird.
