I believe that I saw an Hudsonian Godwit yesterday (13 Jul) on Wedge =
Island, St. Margaret's Bay, accompanied by two Semipalmated Sandpipers.

The Godwit was more like the picture in Birds of Nova Scotia (1986, Pl. =
13) than the picture in Sibley (2000, page 177).  My bird has a solid =
black beak, looking heavier than those in the illustrations.  Can a =
shorebird specialist confirm this for me?  I managed to get a picture, =
which I can send as an email attachment.
