I saw both this morning, about 10:30 to 10:45am in Tom's Cove.  The Godwit
was with a small group of Marbled Godwits and willets and close enough for
good scope viewing.  After 10 or 15 minutes the whole group was spooked by
an eagle flying over and flew somewhat further away and landed out of sight.

The Black-headed Gull was just a bit further away and was alone, though
there were 3 Black-bellied Plovers nearby.  I guess you could say it was a
good day for birds with black body parts.
