Hello, I think you already figured this out, the Ruff stuck around today, but the godwit wasn’t seen at least when I was there. For anyone heading over, the Google Maps directions are faulty, make sure to take Marine Drive to Boe Rd.
Some ways to find out quickly about rarities include signing up for county Rare Bird Alerts and joining the Washington Discord server, the latter of which has separate channels for the most heavily birded counties in the state and their rarities, and other forums for various types of discussions and questions. You can set it up to give you notifications for certain things or just leave them all off and check in when you have time. It’s currently kind of quiet but the more people who join and participate, the better! Here is a join link that should work for a while, if you have questions about how to use it there is a Tech Support channel. https://discord.gg/GxhVPGngy
Hope you got to see the fun bird or will soon!

I am wondering if anyone has any intel from today - are they still being seen? I have time to drive up there but it's an hour away so would love to know if there's even a remote chance of seeing them first. How do people find out about these kinds of sightings same-day?
