Hudsonian Godwits, Whitefish Point, 22 August 2007

[Cory Gregory]

Birders-

I had 79 HUDSONIAN GODWITS fly by Whitefish Point during the waterbird
count this morning.  They came by in two flocks; one of 27 and the
second of 52.  They were last seen heading southeast into the wind.
Both flocks crossed the bay without hesitation.

Also at the point today were 4 RED KNOTS (along with 7 other species
of shorebirds) and a couple of BLACK TERNS.

For updates and the latest sightings from Whitefish Point Bird
Observatory, I encourage you to visit the Fall Waterbird Blog and the
Owl Research Blog.  You can find the links at www.wpbo.org underneath
the Northern Saw-whet Owl picture.

Good Birding,
