28 Whimbrel were reported Saturday May 25 as far as I understood (I was not around to see those).  Yesterday 1 was spotted at around 11:50am and 15 minutes later another 11 flew by.  Those I did see and took a few pics of.

That is as far as I know...others may have further updates.  If so, please post.  I'm curious to hear how the watch turned out this year.
