Tweeters,

A few thousand shorebirds at Bottle Beach yesterday on rising tide, from 9:30-11:30 a.m. Juvenile Hudsonian Godwit hung out mostly with dowitchers, of which a couple hundred mostly Short-boiled on hand. 4 Red Knots, a Surfbird, hundreds of Marbled Godwits, lots of peeps, Black-bellied and Semi. Plovers.

This HUGO might be a different one than the juv at Oyhut on 8/20. Yesterday's godwit showed basic greater wing coverts and was dull below. I recall last week's bird being in brighter juv plumage, but didn't photograph it to verify.
