Yesterday evening, 10-19-09, at Hamden Slough NWR there were several dozen shorebirds on Hass wetland east of the headquarters.  There is a large mudflat near the road on both sides. 

 

Mostly W. Snipe

at least one white-rumped

one either black bellied or a. golden

one pectoral

several dowitchers (after being corrected on my last dowitcher post, I guess they must be L.B.)

Probably others?

 

Again, may be worth checking out if you're in the area.  I'd say close to 100 individuals.
