Just had a single Marbled Godwit on the north end of Skimmer Island (Ocean City, Worcester). Bird was with a group of about 30 American Oystercatchers feeding in the shallow on the north end of the main island (towards the mainland). Flew once a liitle farther south to the exposed mud, then at 1915 got up and flew strongly to the south, headed over the Rt 50 bridge.  Think my second earliest fall record (had one in late-June once).

Also first fall migrant (1) Bank Swallow at West OC Pond today.
