[Tweeters] shorebirds picking up on Willapa Bay

[Jeff Gilligan via Tweeters]

It is near high tide currently.

The little bight at my house has 36 Greater Yellowlegs and 48 Short-billed Dowitchers.  The yellowlegs are apparently near the height of their migration numbers.  I have seen as many as 80 at another place on the bay recently.  The dowitchers and most other shorebird species should be increasing dramatically over the next two weeks or so.
