My friend, Natalie is taking a birding class that includes field trips. She came home last Wednesday all excited about birds she had seen on the road to East Beach, including a hudsonian godwit. I made her take me back and we found some more species, although we didn't see all the original species. The godwit was visible in binoculars, feeding with marbled godwits, but was too far out for pictures.
We also saw two reddish egrets, a snowy egret, blue-winged teal, a mottled duck, and other resident birds.
