Hi everyone!

I just have a moment to jot a few notes about some of the great birds seen
on the beach at Back Bay NWR False Cape State Park:

Marbled Godwit (2)
Whimbrel (3)
Red Knot (21)...look for tags and flags and please report to me or BBL if
you see any!
Piping Plover (2; one young-of-the-year, one adult)
Black-bellied Plover (27)
Semipalmated Plover (8)
Western Sandpiper (2)
Ruddy Turnstone (1)

and many of the usual gulls and terns...and,of course, hundreds of
Sanderlings.
