Reddish Egret (1)
Osprey (2)
Black-bellied Plover
Piping Plover (~22)
Semipalmated Plover (~23)
Wilson's Plover (~5)
Short-billed Dowitcher (~50)
Ruddy Turnstone
Marbled Godwit (2)
Whimbrel (1)
Willet (~25)
Lesser Yellowlegs (2 -- what were they doing here?)

Least Sandpiper (few)
Semipalmated Sandpiper
Western Sandpiper
Red Knot (~5)
Sandwich Tern
