Saw hundreds of these "sea-snipe" today. The north beach was rough under a strong N.W. wind & right outside the breaker line (70 yds or so) lay straggling lines of these birds. These strong out flocks continued for several miles that I walked along. On a small lagoon just in from the beach they were also very common, feeding nervously at the edge of the waves & hardly feeding my approach
