Marbled Godwit (Limosa fedoa)

The name "Godwit" is derived from the Old English "god wicht" which translates to "good eating." Marbled Godwits look similar year round, but the lack of dark bars on its underparts indicate non-breeding plumage. The deeply notched (not barred) tertial suggests a juvenile. Marbled is the largest of the godwits in the world. Two subspecies are recognized. This is the larger widespread nominate race.
