This morning from 10:30-11:00 am I was awestruck by the spectacular
sight of 27 Hudsonian Godwits out on the west side of the Purgatory
Creek Wetland in Eden Prairie, Hennepin County. I was scanning the
island mudflats, and saw 2 Black-bellied Plovers. Further west I came
upon the Hudsonian's all milling around in the water probing and
preening with those long bills very tightly together. Now that was a
jolt to the sences, and I spent the next 30 minutes observing them to
see that they all had black underwing coverts and axillaries, and the
tail was black and white. There were many other shorebirds in the area
but I could not take my eyes off all those amazing Hudsonian Godwits...

Purgatory Creek Wetland is in Eden Prairie off from Prairie Center Drive
behind the Purgatory Creek Recreation Area where there is parking
available. This is west of US Hwy 212, and south of MN Hwy 5.
