Came down in the evening to look for Whimbrels, reportedly hanging around on the island in the wetland pool (cell 1). No Whimbrels were found but yet a triplet of peeps in Bay D (first bay on the west side of the road, which is just at the opposite side of the road from the wetland pool). There are some really nice mudflats on the northern side of Bay D, which I recommend checking out when you are down there.

3 Semipalmated Sandpiper   
3   Least Sandpiper   
3   Dunlin

There were also two Willow flycatchers singing in the woodlands at the base of the Spit. Four Egrets were fishing in the southern end of Bay C.
