Steve Carlson and I observed a Hudsonian Godwit, and an juvenile Sabine's Gull from 9:00 - 9:30 am.  The Sabine's was by itself along the edges of the mudflat walking in the water, and we enjoyed the beautiful, distinctive wing pattern when it flew a short distance.  There are many Franklin's Gulls on the mudflat so caution should be observed when searching.

You will see Purgatory Recreation Area and the Flagship Corporate Center and can park in either lot to walk the paved trail around the wetlands.  A good viewing area, and where we observed the birds  is behind the office building on the bridge that overlooks the wetland area and mudflats.
