Observation details

Peep sandpipers, overall whitish with contrasting browns, some with rufous shoulders; numerous dense flocks and rapid flight style. Likely 2-3X this number went by me, all northbound over the jetty, but not able to evaluate so many. Photos of different flocks show Dunlins mixed into some of them (above).
