I had a couple of chances to look at the shore birds today. At 0830, there were 
more Spotted sandpipers than I've seen for a while, but later around 1130, the 
numbers had declined. They may have just dispersed because of the dredging. 
Similar observations with the lesser Yellow legs.

1st numbers 0830, second 1130

Blue winged teal male 1,1 The last of a regular flock
Killdeer - 2,2
Spotted sandpiper - 35, 15
Solitary sandpiper - 30, 20
Lesser yellow legs - 10,0
Least sandpipers - 2,2
