Observation details
Adults on delta sandbar and feeding in channel -- were present here all day, I saw them this morning as part of the christmas bird count, and came back this afternoon to check on them again, wading across the channel to get to the delta island. The greater Narragansett area has been a regular wintering area for several BHGU in recent years (at least seven in winter of 2021-2022). This is the first sighting of multiple BHGU in the area this winter, so maybe recent arrivals. One was present at this same spot on 11/13/2022, and one was seen recently down at Scarborough Beach. The first two arrived at Scarborough last year on 12/31.
