At Kennedy Creek Estuary (Mason County), on this afternoon's low tide,
3 Black-bellied Plover wandering over the tide flats in a loose group.

To my disappointment, the Least and Western Sandpiper which have been
here since 14 July were nowhere to be seen. But on the other hand,
there was an Osprey to be seen a few times.
