[birdky] Mitchell Lake shorebirds

Took the boys fishing this afternoon and had the opportunity to scope the ever 
growing mud flat from the levee at Mitchell.  It seems that semi sandpiper is 
the bird of the day with a few white-rumped and least thrown in for good 
measure.  Habitat is steadily improving.  Approximate numbers:
Semi Plover  2
Semi sandpiper  40-60
Least sandpiper  6
White-rumped sandpiper  3 to 5 (1 positive ID but 2 to 4 more with the same 
basic look and sticking together in slightly deeper water, I'm not very 
familiar with this species but one dropped his drawers and showed me his rump)
