Observation details

*Rare. Continuing bird. Smaller and grayer godwit feeding with the MAGOs. Siberian subspecies given the barring on the rump and underwing (in contrast to the white rump and underwing of the European subspecies). The BTGO seemed a little aggressive towards the MAGOs. All the godwits were working the soccer fields together, and they would fly to a new place when the mowers would get too close. Very accommodating, and flew close to me a couple times.
