Dennis,
We along with Scott Mills and Jim Dazenbaker had 3 birds (including all in the scope at once!) there on August 13. They were the juvenile, one in full alternate and another adult in molt. Both adults are in the photos in eBird.

I've been hearing about a juvenile Bar-tailed Godwit at Westport for some time, as well as at least one adult. But Kim Stark photographed two Bar-tailed at the Westport Marina this morning, and they were an adult molting from breeding to nonbreeding plumage and another adult in full nonbreeding plumage. So are there three birds there?
