IBLE:

This afternoon at Danielson Ck Falls overlook, I made careful 
observations of an Hudsonian Godwit.  The Godwit was feeding with a 
small group of Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs just beyond about 10 LB 
Dowitchers.  Numbers of shorebirds have dropped greatly since our cool 
spell arrived.  The Hudsonian Godwit was just larger than the Greater 
Yellowlegs with a very long and distinctly upturned bill, dark legs, 
black tail (separating it from a Willet) and white eyebrow stripe.  It 
was drab gray in color.  Unfortunately, I don't have digiscoping 
equipment for my spotting scope.  The birds are all quite "flighty", 
so don't know how long it will stay.  

Also 3 juvenile Black Crowned Night-herons, several White-faced Ibis 
and Snowy Egrets.  No small "Peeps" remain.
