The Marbled Godwit was still present at Wolfville Harbour this 
afternoon. Arrived about 2 p.m., about an hour before low tide but 
the mudflats were all exposed. No godwit in sight. While walking 
around to get a better angle, I heard it call but still couldn't find 
it. A mixed flock of Yellowlegs (~15)  flew in & finally noted the 
godwit in a narrow depression in the mudflat about the middle of the 
harbour. It was well hidden.

Also present was 1 Solitary (previously noted by others). I had also 
saw a small flock of peeps while I was watching the godwit but could 
not relocate them.

Thanks to Bernard for finding the godwit & to Rick for alerting everyone.
Angus
