Dear All,
posting on behalf of Ron Weeks:
Ron is at the Red-necked Phalarope spot (on road 227 just south of CR 2004) at
Brazoria NWR There are 3 Godwits: two winter-plumaged Hudsonians and a good
candidate Black-tailed. This bird is not in full breeding plumage, but is a
different color on the neck/chest (a blonde orangy buff), and Ron described it
as larger, taller, with a straight bicolored bill, and he just called to say he
briefly saw the underwings when the bird hopped - the underwings looked pure
white...
He has poor photo equipment ad the bird is rather distant WE NEED FOLKS WITH
HEAVY-DUTY LENSES to get over there as soon as possible!
Martin
