Nothing unusual to report from Milford Pt at 6:00-7:15pm, but Semipalmated Sandpiper numbers have grown significantly. There were an estimated 1,980 Semis out there tonight on the incoming tide (high is around 8pm). The birds were packed tightly on the back side of the gravel sandbars, so it was very difficult to sort through them for less common species. With this number of birds around, the flocks should be scoured for rarities. Beware of Sanderlings, most of which are still in breeding plumage and patterned very much like Red-necked Stints.
