John Hockema, Kimberly Emerson, and I found two Marbled Godwits on Rice Lake in Anoka County. We parked at the first lot on Aqua Lane (east of Lake Drive), right after the bridge, then walked south on the grassy trail and cut down to the lake’s edge at the Rice Creek Snowmobile Club Trail sign. We could see the godwits from there, but they were very, very distant, so we walked clockwise along the edge of the lake until we were closer. Rubber knee boots are a good idea. We also saw Pecs, Leasts, Stilt Sandpipers, and Lesser Yellowlegs around the lake. Scope needed.
