Observation details

Well, there has been some confusion. But looking over my photos, I see that this is a Black-tailed Godwit, not a Bar-tailed Godwit. This is the Black-tailed Godwit identified by Ron Weeks on June 4. These are photos that I took today. Compare to the photo of the Hudsonion Godwit. The Bar-tailed Godwit was obviously a bigger bird than the two Hudsonion Godwit with a rufous throat and white underwing coverts as shown in the photos.
