[obol] Shorebirds At Nye Beach

[Cindy Ashy]

After lunch with the gulls, I surveyed as far as I could see N and S from the
Nye Beach Turnaround:

39 Whimbrels all foraging in the surf

6 Ruddy Turnstones foraging on rocks N of the pipeline jetty

100+ peeps south of the jetty - most likely Western Sandpipers - white bellies,
right size, right behavior, 90% sure dark legs but it was foggy and distant -
in non-breeding plumage
