Godwits at Chatfield

[Migrant]

To supplement the migrants noted by David and Mark, I stopped by the Chatfield unit of the Botanic Gardens and got one (but not both) of the previously reported eastern phoebes. A quick swing through Chatfield yielded quite a number of nicely turned-out yellow-rumps, but the most notable sighting there was a flock of 32 marbled godwits at the marina sandspit. The birds seems quite attached to the east side of the spit and may remain overnight.
