Yesterday at about 11:30 I was treated to the sight of 300+ Peeps
throughout the mudflats area at Marine View Drive and East 11th Street
in Tacoma. The tide was between 0.2 and 0.3, which exposed the entire
mudflats area. Most were Western Sandpipers, but there were some Least
Sandpipers and at least 4 Semipalmated Sandpipers. Also a few Kildeer
and 2 Spotted Sandpipers were seen.

Thursday, in the same area, 7 Green-winged Teal flew in at about 9:30
am. These were gone by Friday morning.
