1939 We stopped at Wet View Marsh as the tide was just right for best observations. Birds were scattered all over the mud as far as we could see and the light was excellent. There were many more Western Sandpipers than at any previous time this winter far outnumbering the Least. I could find no Redbacks. Possibly they were out where the water was deeper. Dowitchers were abundant, more abundant and more scattered than heretofore. Both Long-billed and Hudsonian were present - I could find only a few Hudsonian (3 or 4) but 18-12 Long-bills near the roadway - Godwits were abundant! also Willets and Bb. Clover. A group of 4 Yellowlegs flew in together in a tumble and alighted near a willet. They all looked smaller than the willet. After a few minutes of feeding they all flew away together. Later I saw two other Yellowlegs, both of which looked larger than Willets near by. The threw their heads back more frequently than the smaller ones, I think. There were many scattered Anocets all over the marsh as far as I could see. Ducks were more abundant than previously. Spoon- bills were numerous; many of the females showed bills almost as orange as feet. Canvasbacks (20-30), Buteails (5+); Reddies 8.
