Hello Tweets,

We have just updated our website with many,many new photos taken yesterday during our trip to Bottle Beach and Westport. These photos include the Bar-tailed Godwit at the Westport Marina,as well as the Ruff,Pacific Golden Plovers and Dunlin from Bottle Beach and Snowy Plovers at Midway Beach Rd. Our photos of the Bar-tailed Godwit are not of the best quality due to the distance,but are mainly for documentation of the bird with Marbled Godwits. Our photos of the Ruff at Bottle Beach turned our fairly nice,while our photos of the Pacific Golden Plovers at the same location turned out not as good due to the lighting and the position of the bird(s).

We posted just 3 photos of the Snowy Plovers from Midway Beach Rd. onto our website,of which one bird was banded. Our most recent shorebird photos can be accessed from the following link: http://www.pbase.com/godwit/recent_shorebirds/


Sincerely,
