I arrived at about 9:30 am and found the godwits as directed by Doreene.
They are a long way out and scope is required.  With rain and cloud cover,
the light is poor and the high power required for a  loser look is
difficult.  I waited patiently for one bird to fly during which it showed a
black tail and white rump.  Another bird showed dark wings and white wing
stripe during post preening short flight.  Now taking a break from rain but
planning to return for more viewing and study.  If you come, be prepared
for intermittent rain showers.  I brought an umbrella and a somewhat
waterproof coat!

These are really good birds for Ohio.  They are feeding a lot.  Who knows
how long they may stay after the rain stops and it clears.
