Watched it come in off of bay at around 9:30 in with a flock of peeps. At very south end. They circled 4 times but didn't land. Continued over Crossbay towards "west pond". Heading there now to see if I can re-find it. I had a total of 14 species of shorebird on the east pond. Other highlights were stilt, white-rumped and Pectoral Sandpipers.
In addition water levels were quite low and the pond is easily walkable if you're wearing proper footwear.
