In this image, a godwit is positioned on the right side of the frame, its head turned to face the camera. The bird's reflection is mirrored in the calm, blue water of the ocean. Behind the godwit, gentle ripples from its recent movement spread across the water's surface. The godwit displays brownish-gray plumage on its head and back, contrasted by lighter, almost white feathers on its underside. Its long, dark beak, likely black, stands out against its plumage.

I believe this bird to be a Hudsonian Godwit (Limosa haemastica) with winter plumage, but it could be a marbled godwit. Merlin agrees ...

#ukbirding 6hrs invested dipping the #hudsoniangodwit nice #wheatear though. Strange the sighting was called while there was only 4 of us left. Guess the others on the opposite ridge saw it?? I most certainly could not pick it out. 3 main flocks to work through and so very distant.

Decidedly these are not the greatest photos, but on a partly sunny/cloudy Sunday morning, just over the line into MI, this Hudsonian Godwit gave me a couple of good looks. Only wish he had been a little closer. #Birds #BirdingMI #ErieMarshPreserve #HudsonianGodwit #Nature #photography #Fallmigration
