Had a nice day at Grand Pass CA (Saline County). Started off slow but on our second pass through, flocks of shorebirds we're dropping in, then being flushed numerous times by peregrine. Most action was in pool 5.
High winds made for unsteady scope views. Thousands of birds. Most numerous were lesser yellowlegs, AG plovers (in every imaginable plumage variation) and LB dowitchers. Also had GR yellowlegs; pecs, least, and spotted sandpipers; dunlin, killdeer, WI phalaropes, WF ibis, and semi-palmated plovers. Probably other peeps but wind conditions made viewing difficult.
