I'm guessing these ones are probably on their way north.
Cordova Alaska has a shore bird festival in May. Western Sandpipers show up in the tens of thousands as they migrate north.
Its a rather impressive sight.
Here's a short video clip:

Thanks Fayle for sharing the great videos. We certainly don't have the numbers of Cordova, but more than I've seen over the years.
