One of our favorite spring migratory birds! We saw several of them last night on the Kenai Boat Dock road. Along with dowitchers (we're assuming long-billed), green-winged teal, Hudsonian Godwits, some sort of sandpiper, just could not get a good enough look to ID, dunlins, and then a bit later, on the KR Flats, parked in the pullout, we saw a flock of red knots! Also - a long ways away to the east, there was an enormous flock of something UFO, white bellies, black and white when they turned. They flew up and back and forth and landed several times. With the setting sun shining against them, it was very flashy, even without binoculars, you could see them across the flats. Large flocks of Canada geese and white-fronted geese. Also about 20 sandhill cranes. A great evening for birds.
