Marbled Godwit

The Marbled Godwit lives on the coasts of California, Gulf of Mexico, Mexico, and South America. Sometimes it finds its way up the Oregon and Washington Coast as well. And occasionally we find them here in Southern Arizona. Yet it breeds on the prairies of Southern Alberta, Canada. The photo below was taken in 1998 or 99 at Ocean Shores, Washington. I was there for a juried photo contest/show both years. While there I took advantage of the shorefront and got some nice photos. Here were a pair of Marbled Godwits I found one of those years. Little did I know at the time that I wouldn't see them that often.
