In the wet areas of the field NE of Moody and Blodgett, there was another Stilt Sandpiper, S-b Dowitcher, and Solitary Sandpiper. The water to the east of the end of Moody Road has receded quite a bit, and the 3 Caspian Terns that were there a few days ago are gone. There are lots of L. yellowlegs and Least Sandpipers along Moody. We saw about a hundred N Rough-winged Swallows, mostly juveniles, flocking along Moody.
