100+ Sanderling
20+ Semipalmated Plover

One Dowitcher. Not identified, and I can't remember the alarm call. By the way, does anyone know which is more common: Western Palm Warbler or Eastern Palm Warbler. I won't be able to tell them apart until their in their spring plumage. The laughing gulls are getting black heads. It's almost time for the great migration to start. Can't wait.
