Observation details
I viewed these birds at about 250 yards with 20-60x scope. Conditions were sunny and warm but very windy. These birds were larger bodied than the greater yellowlegs present. They had very long upturned bi-colored bill. Dark legs. When preening, stretching wings and gusty wind blowing their feathers I saw black and white on wings and tail eliminating marbled godwit. Due to distance and wind images and video are poor quality but good enough to confirm Husonian Godwin I believe. At 13-15 second mark in video there's quick look at black and white in wings and tail, mostly the black. These birds eventually flushed and left the area. Couldn't yet get video loaded. I can't get video loaded but the last image shows the black tail.
