If you need your November Marbled Godwit, I saw one today from the observation platform a little West of Pikes Beach near Cupsogue Beach (Suffolk) County Park around 10:30 this morning. In that area were also lots of Dunlin, Sanderlings, Black-bellied Plovers, and one each Forster's and Royal Tern. Earlier I found the same shorebirds (minus the godwit) on the flats at Cupsogue, plus one Greater Yellowlegs and one Semipalmated Plover.
I was surprised to find three godwits at this spot as late as two weeks ago on 27 October, and more surprised to find still there today.
