'blown off course'

Yesterday feeling a bit bored I read there was a sighting of a Hudsonian Godwit near the Huichica Creek in Napa...so off I went. I wasn't exactly sure where it was but when I saw a group or people with binoculars and scopes I was pretty sure I found the spot. I must have watched it eating, sticking it's head in water for a couple of hours before it started preening and flapping it's wings!

 

It migrates from the high arctic to the southern most tip of Chilie and Argentina...migration path in the middle of the US...got a littleb 'lown off course'!...another lifer!!!
