I was on the dike at the Windham Airport from 5:30-7:45pm.  There was a nice
variety of shorebirds down below on the edge of the reservoir.

Killdeer 5
Lesser Yellowlegs 1
Greater Yellowlegs 3
Spotted Sandpiper 1
Solitary Sandpiper 1
Least Sandpiper 9
Semipalmated Sandpiper 1
BAIRD'S SANDPIPER 1
SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHER 1

All of the peeps (except 2 Leasts) flew off high to the east at about 6pm.
Also about 12 Killdeer out in the airport grass.
