North Shore Beach: 12-12-17






Marbled Godwits, a winter visitor









Nests of these birds are not easily found, as they don’t tend to readily flush off their eggs.  Incubating adults can sometimes even be picked up from the nest.





Geographic variation does occur as birds breeding in Alaska have shorter wings and legs than those breeding in the Great Plains.
