There was 1 Marbled Godwit at the Newtown Gravel Pits on Cincinnati's east
side yesterday.  It was on a gravel bar separating two of the pools. I
viewed below the levee behind the Newtown farmers market. The bird was
backlit at first, but I got better looks by moving down the levee, and when
the bird moved in front of a better background. Reddish base of long
upturned bill noted. Golden-brown overall. Photo on this eBird checklist:

I also had my first Great Egrets, House Wren, Louisiana Waterthrush, and
Blue-headed Vireo elsewhere in the lower Little Miami River Valley.


Good birding,
Brian Wulker
