This evening, there was a Marbled Godwit circling and calling over the
lagoons. It appeared that it wanted to land in the irrigation cells at the
north end but a Redtail was flying around spooking the shorebirds, so no
dice. It then flew north.
I went looking one concession north and found a suitable field but no
Godwit. Many other shorbirds were here.
Other shorebirds present, 30 Pectoral Sands, 25 Dunlin, 2 Greater
Yellowlegs, and 1 Spotted Sand.
Good luck,
James Burk
