I stopped by the Coast Guard Marina in the evening because I had a feeling something would be there - I spotted the continuing Marbled Godwit right away with the mixed flock of Oystercatchers, Black Bellied Plovers and Red Knots that have been in the area. I noticed an odd colored shorebird next to another "unusual" looking shorebird - turned out to be 2 Hudsonian Godwits! I believe one was the same I found on Monday and was either joined by a second or the second was already there but avoided my binoculars. Since I had a good view of the shorebirds Monday, I'll have to assume the second was a new arrival. 2 Royal Terns added to the excitement.
