Marbled Godwit, Milford Point 8/8/19

Marbled Godwit, Milford Point 8/8/19.  On our usual Thursday Piping Plover and shorebird monitoring, found a Marbled Godwit on the main sandbar: it flew east after about 15 minutes--could never get it in decent sun for photos.  A few record shots.  Also, finally saw the juvenile American Oystercatcher (child of T4 and mate) fly: congrats!
