Hi Everyone,
Well it seems a little lame to post about an extralimital bird in my first
post to MDBirding, but the bird isn't too far from the MD line and is
certainly in chase range for MD birders. Also, finding it was REALLY
exciting.
Details and photos can be seen in the eBird list at the link below:

The godwit was on and near the extensive area of exposed sand directly
opposite the Toms Cove Visitors Center at Chincoteague NWR. Carol and I
watched it this afternoon from about 1:30-3:00 pm; it was still there when
we left.
I have birded a fair amount in DE and other states this summer, but I
really am mostly going to bird in MD the rest of the year! :)
Have fun,
Ron Gutberlet
