We have a similar scene on the beaches in Southern California. However, there are usually more willets (a type of shank) than there are whimbrels and godwits. The whimbrels are quite skittish and fly away if you get within around 40 feet. The willets are territorial and do not tolerate any whimbrels or godwits foraging nearby.
