Michael Sledjeski just called to report a Hudsonian Godwit,
a Marbled Godwit, and 2 Red-necked Phalaropes.

This is the first Hudsonian record for Rankin / upper Douglas Lake.
There are a few records of the other two.

These 3 species bring the season total up to 30 shorebird species
at this site.    WOW !!

He will provide more details later.
