I went out today at about 1330hr to Coffenbury Lake at Ft Stevens
State Park. I saw everything that has been reported recently.
The bird numbers must be associated with high tide since I did
not see birds in the morning (0900hr) or in the evening (1830hr)
on previous visits this week.

Shorebird list:
Killdeer 1
Greater Yellowlegs 14
Lesser Yellowlegs 16
Solitary Sandpiper 1 (probably; it was sleeping)
Stilt Sandpiper 1
Short-billed Dowitcher 21
Long-billed Dowitcher 3
Western Sandpiper 17
Least Sandpiper 6
Pectoral Sandpiper 1
