Following up on Jen’s (and Kestrel’s!) finds, I walked East a ways and found nothing aside from a bunch of Sanderling and a few American Oystercatchers.
To the west, by the Silver Gull Club, I found 25 roosting Whimbrel but no Golden-Plovers. A handful of Ruddy Turnstones and a Western Sandpiper with some Sanderlings as well. There was a Peregrine strafing the beach so it may have scared off the Plovers.
