SEPT. 19, 2009 -  Roosting along the RR tracks at Wolfville Harbour  
at high tide were 15 GREATER YELLOWLEGS + a possible HUDSONIAN  
GODWIT? + 3 DOWITCHERS (prob. short-billed?) + 2 PEEPS (probably  
LEAST SANDPIPERS) + a SPOTTED SANDPIPER.  The possible godwit was  
noted among the flying greater yellowlegs, when I noticed a rump and  
tail pattern that wasn't a yellowlegs.  I'm hopeless at  
distinguishing the two species of dowitchers, but they and several  
yellowlegs stayed very close to me before flushing today.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville
