That's a good number of waders. Watch for White Ibis and Tricolored Herons
banded in MS, they have started a project.

Subject: [ALbirds] Wheeler Dam Wader Counts
Well, counts and estimates.
I spent the evening (6:15-7:30) watching waders come to roost on the island
below Wheeler Dam. Tallied 8 species. Here's my numbers:
Great Blue Heron 20 estimate
Great Egret 180 estimate
Snowy Egret 8
Little Blue Heron 242
Cattle Egret 2150 estimated by 10's
Black-crowned Night-Heron 6
White Ibis 5 (all immature, flew in from west at 6:50)
Tricolored Heron 1 (immature, flew in from south at 6:30)
I didn't watch over the dam, so probably missed a lot of Cattle Egrets coming
in from the northeast and east.
