Observation details
Two flocks. First at ~8:15, about 250 small/medium shorebirds heading almost due east (very surprising to see them moving that direction) and passed to the south of us, too far for photos or ID. Second flock at 8:30, about 350 that passed close to us heading NW. photos of second flock. Second flock mostly composed of RUTU, but seems likely that there were a few red knots in the flock as well. Steve saw one with scope views, and Ross G looked at these pictures and identified a few as Red Knots based on shape, size and color contrast with RUTU.
