Godwit, Marbled 2013.5.23#123. I see 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 the middle of the Inlet. They kept coming and landed about 30 yards from me. They were 16 Bristle Thighed Curlews that allowed me to photograph them for about 4 hours, along with some Whimbrels, Plovers and other shore birds. Just as the Curlews were leaving this Godwit dropped in and landed right in front of me while I was still shooting other shore birds. Cook Inlet south of Anchor river Alaska.
