There are a few recent posts about the Motorsports fields, and pretty much the majority is Pectoral and Least Sandpipers. There is also a small chance of one or both of the yellowlegs. If you are looking for shorebirds new for you, I would suggest Crandon Beach. It is great for Short-billed Dowitcher, and the Semipalmated, Piping, and Wilson's Plover on the northern most beach in the park. Great views of many Spotted, Least Sandpipers, Ruddy Turnstones, and Sanderlings. Also a possibility of Semipalmated Sandpiper like I saw last Sunday. Sandwich Tern and Lesser Black-backed Gull are present, and Black-bellied Plovers and Dunlin should be arriving soon. Plus Crandon is way closer to you.
Also, to save an extra post, 3 Redstarts, 6 Gnatcatchers, and 2 Prairie Warblers were seen.
Barn Swallows were also present, and a Loggerhead Shrike and Gray Kingbird were on Miami Beach.
