At the earlier time there were about 40 adult Westerns and one other juvenile (too far for a solid ID, its bill length could perhaps have implied either species). At the latter time, after the peeps had flown back and forth to the sewage ponds a few times, there were at least 410 adult Westerns, and at least 3 juvenile Westerns. On each occasion, during a period when the flock was undisturbed, the Semi separated itself and worked the west side of the mud/sand "island", closer to me than any other bird. It was a particularly short-billed individual, with no obvious rufous except for suggestions on the crown. The later, larger flock also brought in about 25 Semipalmated Plovers. Other birds included 3 Wilson's Phalaropes and 1 Caspian Terns. Of about 200 Dowitchers, the only IDs I got were Long-billed. Earlier in the afternoon I saw the Black Skimmer pair with one largish chick at the first island in salt pond A16 near the Environmental Education Center. About 50-60 Wilson's Phalaropes were close in, along with three Red-Necked; several dozen more distant Phalaropes were probably Wilson's. I didn't see any Ruddy Turnstones, but Jean Myers - who was also present - was setting off in search when I left.
