HUDSONIAN GODWIT





Hudsonian Godwit at the Englishman River Estuary: Ralph Hocken Photo.

Tuesday May 19
The Hudsonian Godwit seen yesterday (May 18) at the Englishman Estuary was relocated at Rathtrevor tonight. I got to see it just as it was getting dark. It was about 2/3 of the way over to Craig Bay, right on the tideline. It was with a Black-bellied Plover, which was the only other shorebird there.
