Hudsonian Godwit

[Loring Danforth]

Thanks to help from Cheryl Ring and Glenn Hodgkin I went out to the north end of Sabattus Pond this morning looking for dunlin. After finding them, I went further along the shore and found a Hudsonian Godwit calmly feeding in the sun right at the edge of the lake. Long upturned, two toned bill, gray back and neck, white on the lores, black tail.
