It is also very interesting to see the variation in
diversity at different times. At 10:30 yesterday,
there were only 2 Killdeer and 2 Leasts along with 3
Semipalmated's (same birds Scott saw yesterday
probably). At 2:30 yesterday, there were about 6
Leasts and a Lesser Yellowlegs along with about a
dozen Killdeer.
