[va-bird] Shorebirds at Huntley Meadows

Hello VA-Birders,
   
  I stopped by Huntley Meadows (Fairfax County) today to see if the Fall 
shorebird season has begun.  Nothing special, but things are starting.  In 
evidence were the following:
   
  Killdeer  4
  Solitary Sandpiper  1
  Least Sandpiper  7
  Semipalmated Sandpiper  1
   
  I haven't seen many reports from the Virginia coast, but I imagine things are 
starting to heat up.  In Florida this week (Honeymoon Island causeway) there 
were many Dowitchers (mostly SB including henersoni with one LB), a Stilt 
Sandpiper, Ruddy Turnstones, along with the summer residents there.  What's 
going on Tidewater folks?
