“Scatted number of Long-toed Stints (Calidris subminuta) over a large part of this in-land wetlands area. One small flock I saw was 12 birds but total number must exceed 25. Some birds were very patient and cooperative for images (above, below).

“Note the short video, the second half of which shows some competitive feeding. I thought both birds were Long-toed Stints but not very sure of the one chased away.
