I was at State and Spreckels in late morning, and was privileged to see the
TWO, count 'em two, HUDSONIAN GODWITS, after the second one flew back
across the RR tracks as reported by Mike Mammoser. They mostly slept while
I was there, but showed their distinctive godwit bills a few times and
walked around a bit as I watched -- never giving me a chance for a decent
digiscope, though I did get a couple of blurry ones of the head of a
sleeping bird.

The STILT SANDPIPER was also in the same pond, and was foraging in the
open, giving much better views than I had last weekend. Still not close
enough for me to get good digiscopes, but here are a couple of blurry ones
for what they are worth. The rear view shows the underpart barring of the
alternate plumage.
