Some pictures have been posted on ebird, gorgeous breeding plumage bird. As of right now it seems like the bird has not been present for several hours since the tide has gone out but many people are out looking. Updates are being posted on the NJ listerv. https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S44362779 On Sun, Apr 8, 2018 at 10:31 AM, Nick Bonomo via CTBirds < ctbirds@lists.ctbirding.org> wrote: > See below > > Nick Bonomo > Wallingford > > Sent from my iPhone > > Begin forwarded message: > > > From: L Larson <llarson2@MAC.COM> > > Date: April 8, 2018 at 10:13:49 AM EDT > > To: NJBIRDS@PRINCETON.EDU > > Subject: [NJBIRDS] Black-tailed Godwit, Pedricktown NJ > > Reply-To: L Larson <llarson2@MAC.COM> > > > > A Black-tailed Godwit is being alerted on the SW Jersey text alert > system.

For what it's worth, this location had Ruff annually at this time of year in the early 1980s. A quick check of my records shows I saw Ruffs there in April 1980 thru 1983, with 2 in the latter year, and also one in 1987. Of course that is no longer the case, although who knows what all this searching will turn up.

On an interesting note.....I photographed one in Chincoteague Island, VA. at nearly the same date a few years ago. It was hanging with a flock of Marbled Godwit. Locate the Marbled Godwits and you found the Black-tailed! An amazingly beautiful Godwit!
