Stopped by this afternoon for a look at low tide around 4:00 p.m.
hundreds of shorebirds....
lots of royal terns; sandwich terns, skimmers, laughing gulls, willets, short billed dowitchers, peeps galore; an occasional osprey and GBH.
I was only able to stick around until 5:30. Other than the GBH, I did not see any larger birds up to that hour. But if you're into shorebirds, you have plenty to keep you busy. The skimmers were all along the sandbars. I am not sure if they will stay there to skim later in the afternoon....but if you're in the area, give it a visit; esp. at low tide.
