My thoughts are that the pools and wetlands habitat have improved greatly (west of the interstate) in the last ten years. For the last few years those pools seem to be full of birds at a mostly high tide, which did not used to be the case. (I haven’t checked at a king tide.) This would seem to negate the need for shorebirds to use the rip-rap as a high tide roost.
Just my observation.

This was my 4th such visit since mid-Sept with similar results, in contrast to results of Pt Blue surveys in recent years, which turn up many 100s of waders of a dozen or so species.
