Greetings - while hoping to find the Golden Eagle reported by Tom Curtis a week ago, I walked to the back of Stony Bayou pool.  The tide was out and the number of wintering shorebirds was impressive - literally thousands of birds.  Though I was not able to find anything worthy of the RBA (there were too many basic plumaged Dunlin to sort out a Curlew Sandp, though I tried!), there were 15 species present:

Killdeer
Black-bellied Plover
Marbled Godwit (Lighthouse Pool) - 2
Willet
Greater Yellowlegs
Lesser Yellowlegs
Ruddy Turnstone
Sanderling
Dunlin - at least 1000
SB Dowitcher
Red Knot - 1
Western Sandpiper
Semipalmated Sandpiper
Least Sandpiper
Wilsons Snipe
