Today's low tide (in full sunlight - no dense fog!!) revealed mudflats that were nearly empty of peeps, plover, dowitchers and yellowlegs. A very dramatic change from yesterday when during a short viewing time between fog and rain events we saw many hundreds of shorebirds feeding on mudflats across the bay as well as almost an equal number on mudflats on our side of the bay.
Perhaps they are heading now to those lovely Caribbean islands and the north coast of South America - farewell and good luck!
