9/10 . Stratford.  I checked a few local spots during the rain and during high-mid tide.  Nothing rare, but highlights were:Short Beach Park - 1 RED KNOT (on beach with shorebirds and gulls), 1 juvenile BONAPARTE'S GULL (ditto). Access Rd. pool (opposite RE Michel Co.) - 1 juvenile WESTERN SANDPIPER. Pool had almost completely dried up, but now the rain has brought it back to ideal conditions (at this point).
