[cobirds] El Paso County: Squirrel Creek Road Pond - Marbled Godwit?

My wife and I went out to Hanover Road to see the Long-billed Curlews that Mr. Chartier had posted yesterday.  No luck.  The rancher was working in the flooded field and had probably scared them off.
So, we stopped at Squirrel Creek Road Pond on the way home.
Water level is extremely low.
20+ American Avocet
30+ Northern Shovelers
2 Solitary Sandpipers, I think.  Lighting was bad and my photos didn't turn out.
1 Marbled Godwit, I think.  If anyone looks at the photo and believes I have incorrectly identified this one, please let me know.
