Today (Friday 9 May) there was a sizable concentration of shorebirds at the 
goose viewing area at Dead Creek WMA.  The birds were in the (rapidly 
drying) puddle at the west end of the road.  Ted Murin and I counted:
~100 Least Sandpipers
47 Lesser Yellowlegs
8 Semipalmated Plovers
1 Pectoral Sandpiper

Unfortunately there isn't much water remaining in the pool, so this habitat 
probably won't last much longer.
