There has been a massive increase in birds on the pond. Also there is significantly more shoreline exposed. I got to the north end at 7:15pm which is 3 hours after high tide. There were a couple thousand birds. Most were short-billed dowitchers and semi-palmated sandpipers (as is expected). There were too many birds and not enough time before dark to scan all of them. Also numbers of both yellowlegs, leasts Of interest were 1 long-billed Dowitcher seen and heard 1 White-rumped Sandpiper 6 Stilt Sandpipers
