This morning, while sitting at Redmon Pond, I saw far fewer flocks of shorebirds flying up the river than I have the last few days. A look from the viewing platform at the refuge showed good numbers on the opposite side of the marsh but the tide was high. So it goes. I only had 3 Least Sandpiper at the pond and did not see the Short Billed Dowitcher that I have been encountering. I did, however, have a visit from 2 Spotted Sandpiper. One was particularly cooperative,flying over and feeding right in front of me.
