I went to the River S Unit, Rest Lake this morning and found a fair number of birds. I noted a reduction in least sandpipers and absence of lesser yellowlegs. I then went back this afternoon when the low tides were in effect to see if it effected the numbers. I found far fewer yellowlegs but about 50 more dowitchers and 8 more western sandpipers. New birds for this migration included a Wilson's phalarope and spotted sandpiper.

Here are my numbers.

semiplamated sandpiper 1
killdeer 73
least sandpiper 38
western sandpiper 12
greater yellowlegs 30
long-billed dowitcher 155
Wilson's phalarope 1
semipalmated sandpiper 3
spotted sandpiper 2


Good birding
