on November 14, 2013Why is it every time I'm not in Ottawa is when these amazing species keep showing up? First it was the Sabine's at AHP in 2011, now Hudsonian godwit in Navan. I haven't seen one of these since I was in Nova Scotia back in August 2009.
Great shot of this one! I see that extra reach on the 500 is paying off.
