Marbled Godwit and More

I thought that I would let everyone know about some good birds that I had today. At the Swanson Road and Musketawa Trail flooded fields I had a Marbled Godwit at about 12:30.  When I left at around 1:00 the bird was not there (I think that it flew south to some other flooded fields that are not as visible). Also present at this location was a Stilt Sandpiper and several Dunlin. At the Wastewater there were around ten Short-billed Dowitchers in the rapid filtration cells. Early in the morning at Lane's Landing there was a Whip-poor-will calling near the parking area and at the Muskegon Lake Nature Preserve there was a Least Bittern calling.
