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.
