I&#8217;ve never seen so many Sandpipers in one place. There were many thousands feeding in the first pool. Apparently they stay until the tide comes in.<\/p>\n<p>There wasn&#8217;t as much variety as usual, and many of the birds were at the distant side of the pools, but enough cooperated to get a few decent images. The Night Herons were much more visible than usual.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_36875\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
