Hello! I just returned from Hoover where I observed a Marbled Godwit from the end of the boardwalk looking towards the far shoreline to the SE (right of the old bridge and left of the Osprey platform). Other shorebirds included the usual cast of characters: both Yellowlegs, Pectoral Sandpipers, Least Sandpipers, Semipalmated Sandpipers and Plovers, Stilt Sandpipers, and one lone Short-Billed Dowitcher. A brief walk along the east shore turned up 2 Sanderlings and a Black-Bellied/American Golden Plover (I couldn't it make out as I was looking into the sun).
