Hey All,

While scoping out the Marbled Godwit flock at the Tokeland Marina this
afternoon (looking for the Bar-tailed), I came across a HUDSONIAN GODWIT.
The flock was resting on one of the dilapidated docks, which allowed very
close views and long study of detail. Its white underparts initially clued
me in to the ID and its black tail-band and bright supercilium defined it.
Its back is much grayer than the surrounding Marbleds and its smaller size
was noticable but not obvious while scanning the flock.
I took several pictures, but I will not be able to get them online until
tomorrow night.

Good Migrations,
