[nysbirds-l] Bar-tailed Godwit Cupsogue Suffolk Co.
The godwit appeared at 7:02 on the flats, feeding and preening with the gulls and terns. We were able to confirm that the tail and rump are barred as far up as we could discern, as is the underwing, consistent with the Siberian race of the species. Thanks to Mike McBrien for the astute ID from the original photo.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Bar-tailed Godwit - Moriches Inlet, Suffolk, 19 July
Brendan Fogarty reports that the Godwit is being seen now. No other details
provided.
Better get yourself sorted for a twitch/chase tomorrow. This one is worth it.

[nysbirds-l] Bar-tailed Godwit - Moriches Inlet, Suffolk, 19 July
Good afternoon, Yesterday evening (19 July) , Ben Bolduc discovered a godwit at Moriches Inlet, Suffolk County. I came across the photos earlier this afternoon and after circulating among several top birders in the area, there was agreement the godwit appears to be a Bar-tailed - likely a drab SY-type bird. The bird is fairly long-billed like a Marbled, but in Ben’s photos, it also appears rather drab gray, lacking the upperpart checkering of a Marbled, with fine streaking on the coverts, and subtly longer primaries projecting beyond the terts and tail -all seeming consistent with Bar-tailed. I wanted to circulate this news so others can search to relocate the bird. Photos of the bird can be see on Ben’s checklist:https://ebird.org/checklist/S115409477 Good luck!
