The numbers grew over the weekend with birds arriving and some leaving.  
Least and Pectoral Sandpipers were migrant number leaders and have spread out  
over the area. Killdeer and Black-necked Stilts are still setting eggs and  
hustling young.  Black-necks have 10 young in 3 groups and I  photographed one 
nests as they hatched on Saturday.
 
High numbers for the following were counted over the weekend trips: 3  
Greater Yellowlegs, 16 Lesser Yellowlegs, 18 Solitary Sandpipers, 7 Spotted  
Sandpipers, 14 Semipalmated Sandpipers, 5 Western and 6 Stilt Sandpipers.  
Good Birding  !!!
