Godwit at Hammonasset

I received an email from Susan Naumann today (Thanks!) about a rare and photogenic Godwit at Hammonasset -- CT birds also had a bit about it in there, but I do not read the CT bird digest every day and would have missed it if not for Susan.

Thought you would like to know there is a godwit at Hammonasset. Loads of birders were there, today, all excited & taking pictures. Judging by the excitement, it may be a rare stop-over. We were told it has been there for three days. . . . in meadow, past the west beach parking lot, left of the road. Susan

10/19/09 - Madison, Hammonasset SP -- previously reported HUDSONIAN GODWIT present at 10 am in the rain pools west of West Beach parking lot. (This photogenic bird apparently enjoys the attention as it is completely surrounded by long lenses!)
