I spent just short of three hours today not seeing rare Eurasian Stints.

It seemed pretty clear that there had been a turn over in the
shorebirds.  There were fewer birds in general.  The river beach flock
had a juvenile WESTERN SANDPIPER and an adult and a juvenile
SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER.  Neither of these were noted yesterday during
the same time interval of watching.

A juvenile LEAST SANDPIPER was at the big shorebird pond on the flats-
a tall, rangy one with long toes...

Also a single LONG-BILLED DOWITCHER and not much else.

No birds on the Hammond jetty during the high tide either which was kind
of weird.
