ILLINOIS bird FYI Monroe co, IL Kidd Lake : MARBLED GODWIT And other good shorebirds Proceed at one's own risk. Charlene Malone St. Louis co. ------------------------ Subject: IBET Marbled Godwit Kidd Lake Date: Tue Aug 4 2015 14:17 pm From: ILbirds-noreply AT yahoogroups.com My dad and I found a Marbled Godwit in a flooded field at Kidd Lake. The field is located at the intersection of Stringtown and Black Road. At the place of intersection, Black Road is a gravel road but it quickly turns into a dirt two track. Walk 200 feet or so towards the water and the corn on your side will end allowing maximum viewing. The Godwit was hanging out with the Black-necked Stilts (I counted 91). Also present was about 1500 Pectoral Sandpipers, 7 Stilt Sandpipers, 2 Wilson's Phalaropes, and a Dowitcher I think is a Long-billed. The entire area is filled with good habitat. Hundreds of Great Egrets have been seen. From Mitchie Road to Kidd Lake, I counted 67 Little Blue Herons.
