The Hudsonian Godwit was present today, Aug.2. The bird was seen, scope view, from the end of the path that passes by Big Johns Pond. The bird was mixed in with Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs and many ducks. The view was not easy and many thanks goes to Ken Thompson who stayed with the 'larger' bird until we could finally see its bill. On a negative side the water conditions at the East Pond are very poor. There is hardly any shore for shorebirds to feed and almost impossible for birders to walk around. Even the south end of the East Pond is very difficult. The north end of the East Pond is not even approachable. Joe Giunta --
