Sorry, I thought I sent out a report earlier this afternoon when Bonnie Kinder
and I were watching the Marbled Godwit at approx. 1:30 p.m. straight out from
the viewing platform way out near the back of the marsh. A scope was

Three Whimbrels were also present along with
44 Whimbrel, 3 Willets, 3 White-rumped Sandpipers here now.
Earlier, a Peregrine went through at about 3:45 and flushed everything out of

White-rumps, Black-bellied Plovers, Short-billed Dowitchers and lots more.
