Tom Fiore, Manhattan - - - - >>>>>> Subject: late report - Bar-tailed Godwit - North Beach Island, Chatham, MA - 9 August 2010 From: Jeremiah Trimble <jtrimble AT oeb.harvard.edu> Date: Fri, 13 Aug 2010 11:12:45 -0400 MASSBIRDERS, Blair Nikula ran into Brian Harrington on South Beach yesterday who reported observing a breeding plumaged Bar-tailed Godwit at the south end of North Beach Island (formerly North Beach!) late in the day on Monday August 9. The bird was apparently in bright plumage and observed for 45 minutes before it took off flying NORTH. This area is theoretically visible from Chatham Light (although identifying the bird from there could be problematic and probably is not recommended!).
