Hi, During a kayaking trip in Jamaica Bay last Sunday afternoon I noticed 3 Marbled Godwits actively feeding on the Ruffle bar mudflats at low tide (http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S32119079). Curiously that's the same number I got during my last visit there one month ago on the nearby Little Egg Marsh.
Among the other birds seen on the Ruffle bar, Little Egg Marsh and Black Wall Marsh (ebird lists submitted), there was also : 78 Dunlins 26 Red knots 2 Western Willets 10 Horned Grebes 1 Royal Tern 3 Surf Scoters >1400 Brants 2 Short-billed Dowitchers Matthieu -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
