The bird found earlier today by Kevin Rogers ( Nice Kevin!) turned out
to be a Hudsonian Godwit. After a lot of looking by several of us,
Brendan Fogarty relocated it at Short Beach by the coast Guard station
at west end 2. He alerted us, but by the time we returned to the WE2
parking lot he updated us that it had flown. Remarkably, it stopped and
consorted with several BB Plovers in the WE2 lot! We got good yet
inconclusive looks until it was inadvertently spooked by another
arriving birder, yet in doing so, cinching the ID.
an early attempt tomorrow at the west end ponds or short beach will be a
good bet on relocating this bird, for those interested.

Hey all!
I'm striking out on the redneck phalarope... but while looking around there was
a much larger bird with a slightly upturned two-toned Bill looks like a
godwit..a species which I've actually never seen before so I don't know if it's
hudsonian or marbled but it's here...much larger bird then the other shore
birds out in the pond just beyond the actual blind...kind regards kev
