Just to clarify the bird appears to have departed the location. I arrived just as Joanne was leaving and a Harrier took several passes at the shorebirds and scattered everything. Some returned but multiple observers found no sign of the Godwit.

The (or a) Hudsonian Godwit is now in the Red Hill Creek storm pond off of the ramp to the Red Hill Valley Parkway (coming from Burlington direction). I will post more precise directions when I am on a computer.

Marbled Godwit in bin range now - on small barren island to left of viewing platform (in front of middle large island). No sign of HUGO but my optics are limited
