[Maine-birds] Gilsland Farm shorebirds

I did a shorebird survey at Gilsland Farm in Falmouth this morning and there was a significant increase today in shorebird numbers and diversity. Below are the results of my last 3 surveys here, ending with today's.
 
7/14 - No shorebirds
 
7/24 - Semipalmated Sandpiper - 194
 
7/28 - Semipalmated Sandpiper - 647
           Least Sandpiper - 7 (possibly more)
           Semipalmated Plover - 4
           Black-Bellied Plover - 12
           Lesser Yellowlegs - 2
           Spotted Sandpiper - 1
           Peep sp. - 3 (suspected White-Rumped Sandpipers, but too distant to confirm)
 
No shorebirds seen from the Macworth Island causeway today.
