Apologies for the late post; about 1 pm today, the 24th, acting on an earlier (morning) report, Bob P. & I walked SW from the E marina parking lot; after observing 4 Pectoral Sands, two Whimbrel were found along the bay shoreline near Hole #6 where they landed in a sandy area for several minutes then moved onto the grassy tee (closer to where I stood) a few minutes later they flew N toward the center of the GC and appeared to land near a large flock of Brant and other birds; they were not relocated during the next ~30 minutes I remained on site.
