Despite our unsuccessful search for the Common Ringed Plover yesterday, eighteen species of shorebirds were observed. The Marbled Godwit continued on the flats, and a Whimbrel put in a brief appearance. A single White-rumped Sandpiper was observed, and at about 5:00PM a Hudsonian Godwit flew into the mussel beds, stayed for about twenty seconds, then flew off to the east. It has been quite some time since we have seen both species of Godwit at the same location on the same day.
