It was a very nice morning at the Air Park. The highlight for the morning was a Lincoln Sparrow…that is until on the way back to our vehicles, a couple of us ran into Russ Cannings who told us about a Marbled Godwit that he had just seen….which made it 2 highlights!! We went back and located the bird at the end of the large grassy out cropping just past the covered bridge and before the second park bench looking toward Goose Spit.
