I have not seen as many shorebirds on this trip as I expected to see. There has been a lot of rain and wind directions are preventing low tides along the beaches. Water levels are high. Based on earlier e-bird reports, the shorebirds are here. But where are they? I found Marbled Godwits and Dowitchers feeding in the mowed grass at the Fort Travis park adjacent to the beach where I usually see them. Seven photos of Marbled Godwits taken on Nov. 6, 7, and 11 are shown below.
