BLACK-TAILED GODWIT briefly at Caldecotte Lake

About half of the north lake is still frozen, but quite a few birds about. A male Goldeneye, Female Goosander and a real treat, BLACK-TAILED GODWIT. This bird stayed for about 15 minutes, long enough for a few pictures, and then headed off north. Most of the south lake is now free of ice, and the birds spread out, but I did manage to find another female Goosander (per Keith of NBBR)
