Arrived at Ocean Shores jetty about 2 hours before high tide. Immediately found 3 Wandering Tattlers on the jetty just above the incoming tide.

As we stood on the beach next to the jetty, trying to avoid the tide (unsuccessfully), three Black Oystercatchers flew onto the beach. That picture is at

After a great lunch at "Our Place", we went to the beach on Chance A La Mer Ave, where we were treated to at least 2000 shorebirds, mostly Western Sandpipers, many Dunlins, a few Semipalmated Plovers plus ???
Then we arrived at the Grays Harbor NWR right at high tide. During the next hour, we saw another 1000 or so shorebirds, which included a few Black Bellied Plovers and a few Caspian Terns.
