Subject: LOST: 2500 sanderling

Should have included this earlier:

Saturday, September 2nd: I walked from Point Brown to about 3 miles north of
Illahee - phew !!! On the trip north I counted 1300 sanderling. However after
a quick nap when I got back down to the roost site at Butter Clam road - 2
miles north of Point Brown about 4000 birds appeared on the beach.

The question is: where did the other 2500 birds disappear to. I suspect they
were either pushed north of where I got to by the plague of humans on the
beach or out to the beaches around Damon Point. It's also possible they were
on the Westport side of the estuary.

Anybody got any info ????
