Here's the numbers from this morning's viewing of the flats at the end of the Sandpiper Trail at the Grays Harbor National Wildlife Refuge in Hoquiam:

Dunlin 12,500
Western Sandpiper 2,500
Red Knot 37
Semipalmated Plover 36
Short-billed Dowitcher 21
Whimbrel 7
Least Sandpiper 4 (probably more than that)
Greater Yellowlegs 3
Marbled Godwit 1

Also, several large flocks of Cackling Geese were moving overhead out to the west. And it was wet out there!
