Six species found (no Killdeer) on Monday afternoon: ~20 Dunlin & 1 Pectoral Sandpiper at Visitor's Center 1 Brant continues at LaRue's on the Wildlife Dr no shorebirds seen at Benning Marsh 4 Long-billed Dowitcher, 1 Lesser Yellowlegs, 2 Greater Yellowlegs at Mays Point 4 Black-bellied Plover, 2 Greater Yellowlegs, & 3 Dunlin at Puddler's 14 Sandhill Cranes at Puddler's
K-M & Puddler's had a huge amount of pre-roost activity/fly-in occurring when I arrived after sunset. It was too dark to scan at any distance so I went to the end of Towpath Rd where the shorebirds were in close. Needs to be thoroughly birded starting earlier and going through to dusk.
