I had the entire west end to myself, and there were no (later a few) strollers on the Seawall side as the very high tide was flooding this morning. The only dog walker near the lagoon, asked if he was bothering the birds, then apologized for having his dog off-leash. The 14 GWTeal the dog flushed came back eventually. No harm, no foul, I guess.
Other Highlights:
Caspian Tern snuck in unseen and unheard, and loafed w/ the gulls, preening furiously. Eventually flushed (by a boat of all things!) and transferred to the Seawall side of the Morse R. where it still may be. The boat (sport fishermen) was taking advantage of the very high tide and anchored right smack in mid-river, next to the sand spit.
3 different Baird's Sands, offering all sorts of photo ops in the air and on the sand.
1 Red Knot, in its winter suit-of-armor plumage.
2 Dunlins
Only a few Sanderlings here, but a huge flock vis across the way, on the Seawall side. 200+ birds.
