I appreciated Wayne Hoffman's comments there is more than one Hermit
Thrush. We see more than one in migration, to explain why Swainson's are

This morning on the way to see my sister and her husband, I saw a flock of
larger shorebirds from Duckflat Road, it was 12 BLACK-BELLIED PLOVERS and a
few DUNLIN.
At the scrape seen from Buena Vista Rd at Ankeny, there were lots (more
than 100) of LEAST SANDPIPERS with a few KILLDEER and LB DOWITHCERS and a
GREATER YELLOWLEGS or more were around somewhere
