This report just came from Drake on the Superior California Discord. Based
on his description, I think the location was roughly 38.204484,-121.528623
which is a little south of Walnut Grove. As he notes, chasing in that area
is tricky with many spots off-limits or without legal/convenient parking
areas, so take care!
"I’m pretty sure we got a HUDSONIAN GODWIT (definitely not a MAGO) on Tyler
Island on Tyler Island Rd and Race Track . It was on private property but
you may be able to pull off the side of the road to check it out. The bird
did flush (which allowed me to see the dark underwing) and go east but it
could’ve easily circled back. Please respect property lines and follow
rules on pulling off on a roadside. There is an RC airplane tarmac just
north of the spot, but that road is private, and please respect the people
there.
I haven’t submitted it on eBird yet as I am actively working but thought
I’d spread the good word. Lmk if you need other pics but I can’t download
them just yet."
