I had 3 Hudsonian godwits at Lorain Harbor this afternoon. They were at the extreme west end of the harbor and were visible from the Muni Pier (former hot waters). I checked the same area around noon and saw nothing. When we were heading out around 4:30 we checked again and they were there. At noon I had a black-bellied plover there but it was not there later. Apparently the birds are not hanging around long. There were Caspian and common terns there along with some gulls. The only other shorebirds were killdeer and semipalmated sandpiper west of the river. Not much else.
