HI: There was only one godwit present early this morning. I am no expert on godwits but I checked everything I could and came to Marbled.

I am emailing for Bob Cermak who is presently at Shirley's Bay where he is observing one Red-Phalarope and 2 Hudsonian Godwits. The Marbled Godwit, observed by Brian earlier this morning, has not been seen again. Good luck to anyone trying for these rare birds.
