Tweets,

seen at Perry Creek this afternoon were 121 greater yellowlegs, 1 lesser
yellowlegs, and 40-50 peeps, hunkered down in the grass and very hard to
see. Lots of aggression between the yellowlegs as the tide came up,
shrinking the spit of land that the birds had congregated on.

Perry Creek is just west of Mud Bay one Hwy 101; Madrona Beach Rd.
parallels 101 here, and the birds can easily be seen from Madrona Beach Rd.
where it crosses Perry Creek.
