Thank you Jay for the post. As mentioned, Jack Stenger and I embarked
on a long-awaited birding expedition this morning to Delaware Wildlife
Area and then Big Island. We were not disappointed, as the highlight
of the day turned out to be a Hudsonian Godwit at Big Island. Most
shorebirds (11 species) we saw today were at Big Island. Here's a map
of where the godwit was:
