Black-tailed godwits winter in large numbers on the estuaries of both Norfolk and Suffolk, and we know that nearly all these birds breed in Iceland. They are of the race islandica , a sub species of the nominate race, limosa. One assumes Iceland, but there’s no proof. Black-tailed Godwits on the move.

At the close of the meeting, I had a morning to fool around Dare County with the goal to finally tick over 200 species for the county. The Iceland Gull at Wanchese was a no-show. This is my second ridiculous mink experience. It was a state bird for me, and one I’d wanted for some time. Heard only, but that still counts.
