There was at least four Buff-breasted Sandpipers in with a mixed flock of Lesser Yellowlegs and Ruddy Turnstones.  I found the flock west of the entrance to the Back Cove at Hartlen Point below the bluff.  Later they moved into the cove.  With a low tide this afternoon there is a good chance of finding these birds if you hurry.

On my return trudge I spotted a close grouping of 24 Whimbrels flying close by. They tried to land on the fairway near the entrance to the Hartlen Point Golf Club but there were too many golf carts whizzing about.
