Update. The 2 Marbled Godwits were feeding in "Dead Man's Bay", the small cove opposite the island at the north end of the East Pond. Shortly afterwards they flew to the northwest corner, by the trail entrance. A short while later they were not there. Later I found 1 Godwit with 2 western Willets south of the cove, but before I left around 10 I did not see the Godwit. Decent numbers of birds, mostly juvenile SB Dowitchers, Semi Sandpipers, a few Least, 2 Stilt Sandpipers, a few Ruddy Turnstones, 1 Sanderling with a bad foot, 2 Oystercatchers, Semipalmated and Black-bellied Plovers. We apparently missed a White-rumped. All at the north end.
