Washington this morning with two day comparison (Aug 6, Aug 8):

Killdeer 0,10

Least Sandpiper 25,50
Western Sandpiper 2,108
Greater Yellowlegs 45,51

A sharp increase from 170 to 385 individuals.

Early morning when high tide hits early in the morning seems to be best.
Vancouver, Washington tide table:

to leave at about 7:15 this morning.

Keep your eyes and ears skyward.
