Greg Lawrence reported a MARBLED GODWIT at MNWR flying toward the new

John Bateman and I just had nice looks at a Marbled Godwit flying and calling
and heading in the direction of the new shorebird area along the wildlife drive
at Montezuma NWR. We are towards the beginning of the drive. Two godwits in two
days in upstate NY. Sweet!!

weaving and going at it with their bills, right on the gravel "beach" of the
pond.
After one of the sandpipers had been chased into t
I watched a pair of Great Crested Flycatchers investigating a hollow
tree in the orchard this morning. Nearby I found a Hooded Warbler's
nest, about 20" off the ground in a low thicket of multiflora rose
(no eggs yet). 100 yards into the deeper woods, my neighborhood Broad-
winged Hawk is no

Early Saturday morning (6:00 - 7:15), I walked the northern portions of the
Wilson Trail in Sapsucker Woods, from the service driveway to the lone bench
by the pond. I saw at least one male and one female BAY-BREASTED WARBLER
