water=92s edge below the bank to the left when viewing from the road =
revealed a nice tight flock of what I think were 35 short-billed =
dowitchers, mostly inactive and in roosting mode.  I hope someone else =
can get there to check these out at high tide for confirmation.  I =
viewed them by resting my scope on the fence surrounding the facility.

> Other species and numbers seen today were 2 juvenile great blue =
herons, 120+ ring-billed gulls, about 10 herring gulls, about 5 great =
black-backed gulls, and 12 black ducks, .  No other shorebirds were =
seen.
