Shorebirds

    Black Skimmer, Ring-billed Gull, Laughing Gull, Willet, American Oyestercatcher and Marbled Godwit gather for the evening sunset.

Marbled Godwit

    This big cinnamon-colored sandpiper inhabits the northern Great Plains in summer. When it leaves the prairies, the Marbled Godwit goes to coastal regions and becomes quite gregarious. Large flocks roost together in the salt meadows at high tide, or stand together in shallow water above the flats, probing deeply in the mud with their long bills.
