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.
