Today Ingrid and I drove down to Hills Beach and Causeway in Biddeford Pool, Maine . . . one of the states premier places to see migrating shorebirds.
We found a Marbled Godwit, one of the larger and more interesting of the migrating birds. It has an enormous bi-colored bill that it uses to probe for food. It summers, in Nebraska, Montana and the adjacent Canadian provinces . . . please don’t ask me to name them (I can find Quebec).
This particular bird was probably heading for his winter home along the US southern Atlantic coastline . . . and undershot.
