I just got a look at Larue and Jackie's survey from this morning. They
report fairly low numbers of shorebirds at Puddlers (and almost none at
Knox-Marcellus), but they did see 28 dowitchers here, more than have been
lately. The highlight at Mays Point was a reported 8 DUNLIN, as well as
over a hundred other shorebirds, mostly peeps.
Cheers,
Jay

I'm a bit behind on my eBird entries. Highlight was the first
conspicuous evidence of fall passerine migration, with many Bobolinks and a
few Kingbirds along the Wildlife Dr. An immature Peregrine Falcon was
perched near the Seneca Spillway - presumably the same bird first seen by
Joe and Diana Whiting at Mays Point on Tuesday evening.
Mays, Puddler, and Knox-Marsellus had fog late in the day.
Visitor's Center: not many shorebirds but changes constantly
Mays Point: plenty of shorebirds on the vegetation to the left and a few
straight out; some dowitchers noted; plenty of peeps but viewing poor
Puddler: viewing poor; lots of Caspian Terns and more dowitchers noted, but
still very flooded and not a lot of shorebirds
K-M: viewing poor, 1 or 2 Great Egrets
For the last week or more, Great Egret numbers have been around 40-50 at
Mays Pt plus a few at Benning Marsh and a few at K-M. Since
Thursday evening's fog made viewing difficult, I may try a more complete
look tonight at Mays.
