I guess I should ignore the range maps in my Stokes Field Guide. The map shows Sanderlings as being winter residents here but all the other birds that seem to be possibilities are also shown as winter birds.

It also shows this bird which I'm pretty sure is a Semipalmated Plover as a winter bird. Snowy and Wilson's Plovers are similar and listed as summer inhabitants but I don't think they fit because of the bill and leg colors. Does winter start in August?
