Observation details
I was blindly following my GPS to Treadway Minnow Farm. For some reason, it sent me 13 miles out of the way. On my way to being lost, I passed another minnow farm (which I later found out was Darrell Saul's). One low pond was crawling with shorebirds, including these godwits and several avocets. There was no place to pull off the road, and I felt conspicuous stopping in front of a house, so I took some quick photos and left. I reported the godwits, and another birder drove down and saw them for a lifer. Funny how that worked—I got lost and he ended up with a lifer.
