I did a quick search and came up with the following record: "There is one record for Louisiana: 11-12 May 1994, about 4 mi. north of Kaplan, Vermilion Par. This bird was associating with Hudsonian Godwits in a shallow (draining) crawfish pond." This from the June 2002 LOS Newsletter which can be found online at http://losbird.org/news/0207_198_news.pdfOn 6/4/2012 4:14 PM, John Arvin wrote:Louisiana also has a Black-tailed Godwit record, but I can't lay my hands on the details at the moment.
