Marbled Godwit
Marbled Godwits are common migrants and winter visitors to our shores from breeding grounds in the interior of Canada and the northern prairies of the US. They look very similar year round, but the lack of dark bars on the underparts of this individual indicate it is in winter plumage. There are...- jmorlan

Marbled Godwit Takeoff
Early morning at the lagoon, Tigertail Beach, Marco Island Florida. Fantastic light and a host of confiding waders. This Marbled Godwit got spooked by a Great White Egret landing close by and went into takeoff mode a few yards from me.- WickWelsh

Marbled godwit
Today's bird from my San Francisco Bay Trail stroll last Friday: the Marbled godwit. Lovely shades of reddish and golden brown. Odd that the red on the beak wasn't mentioned in my Peterson's guide. The godwits were the most numerous of the flock and occupied the middle ground, willets on average...- Doc Duck
