Hi All,

Yesterday morning, 10 species of shorebirds were recorded along the north side of the Job Corp Dike (North Potholes Reserve) including one MARBLED GODWIT.

The other species were Killdeer (16), Black-necked Stilts (6), Greater (15) and Lesser (18) Yellowlegs, Baird's Sandpiper (2), Western Sandpiper (35), Least Sandpiper (3), Long-billed Dowitcher (9), and Wilson's Phalaropes (2).

The largest concentration including the Godwit were in the east end of the larger pond north of the dike.
