Stopped by after work today around 3:30 hoping that the Whimbrels were still hanging out, no luck. The Long-billed Dowitchers were still there and also two White-rumped Sandpipers in the SE corner. Then the dowitchers started to huddle around a small branch which I thought I spoked them and the sandpipers took off so I moved further down the road to scope the west and when a Peregrine Falcon swooped in on a phalarope, missed and did a few more passes then moved on. The Peregrine flushed about twenty more peeps that flocked up and headed NE towards McIntosh.
American Avocets, Killdeer and American Pipits were the only birds left after the Peregrine left.
