On 8/7 (before heavy rains washed out my trip)there were shorebirds on the Lucky Hammock road, both in the fields and around water puddles. There were not huge numbers, but good numbers of Greater Yellowlegs, Lesser Yellowlegs, Black-necked Stilts, Least Sandpipers, and Killdeer. There were also at least 7 Solitary Sandpipers (an oxymoron, I know), 6 Semipalmated Sandpipers, 2 Spotted Sandpipers, and 1 Stilt Sandpiper.
Advantages for novice shorebirders are that the puddles are close to the road and the birds easy to see, even without a scope, plus at least one of most species there was still in breeding plumage.
