  • SHORE & TUNDRA BIRDS-Godwit, Marbled 2013.5.23#123. I saw a few of these Marbled Godwits every year but never seem to get a good photo opportunity. This bird concluded the most memorable shore bird shoot I ever had in Alaska. It started when I observed a strange group of birds flying right at me from across Cook Inlet. They kept coming and landed about 30 yards from me. They were 16 Bristle Thighed Curlews that allowed me to photograph them for over 4 hours, along with some Whimbrels, Plovers and lots of other shore birds. Just before the Curlews left this Godwit dropped in and landed right in front of me. Cook Inlet near Anchor River Alaska.
