Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #LongBeaks. Here are 4.
So many of our larger birds have long beaks. Here are 4 less common ones.

A Marbled Godwit with a brown and white patterned body, long legs, and a long orange and black beak, strolling along the shoreline at low tide on a gray and cloudy day. Seen at Pinnacle Gulch Beach in Bodega Bay, California.
Rob's #BOTD theme is any bird with a long beak. This Marbled Godwit strolling along the shoreline in Bodega Bay, California fits the "bill"! 😉🤎

Three marbled godwits stand gracefully in shallow water, their long, slightly upturned bills poised like delicate instruments tuned to the rhythm of the tide. Their plumage is a tapestry of mottled browns and tans, blending seamlessly with the silvery ripples beneath them — camouflage crafted by nature’s quiet hand. One bird steps forward, its slender legs casting mirrored reflections in the water, while the others linger nearby, still and watchful. The scene is serene yet alive, a moment suspended between motion and rest. The water glimmers with soft light, echoing the birds’ forms like a whispered twin. Their bills — pink at the base, dark at the tip — curve gently, as if designed for both elegance and precision. This coastal tableau feels like a quiet hymn to balance and grace, where every feather and ripple plays its part in a larger, harmonious composition." - Microsoft Copilot

A Marbled Godwit bends low, its pink bill touching the still water, reflection meeting reflection. A quiet moment of balance in the wetlands.
“In the still water, every search is doubled—the bird above, the dream below.”

A photo of western gull, a mostly white seabird with black wings (though you an only see a touch of one wing tip) and orange legs and feet. The bird is looking directly at camera. Behind the gulls are two marbled godwits, brown seabirds with long brown legs, both of which are facing left. The low surf rolls in behind the trio and the sand they walk on is wet and reflective.
Here we have a western gull accompanied by two backup dancers

Barge marbrée photographiée sur la plage, son long bec droit caractéristique pointé vers l'horizon. Ce limicole au plumage marbré beige et brun se tient fièrement sur un tronc échoué, avec l'océan en toile de fond.

Back on the Hamilton Bay Trail yesterday. All the godwits took off en masse, & I thought the local northern harrier was going to swoop in, but no, I got quite the treat! Of course, I only had my travel cam with me, but it did ok.

As the water recedes along the shoreline, a Marbled Godwit (Limosa fedoa) takes advantage along the exposed sand to look for critters to snack on.

Some nice morning light reflecting on the beach. This chap was always on the move so I had to crank up the shutter. Sony 100-400 GM at 400mm, 1/2500s, f/5.6, ISO 2500. #birds #nature #birdfreaks #usbirds #birdphotography #marbledgodwit #wildlife 🦉 #topazdenoise

Avocet in non breeding colors. A medium large shore bird with white body, brush of gray across eye and to back of head, black wings, grey blue legs and a long upturned thin beak, all reflected in the water. Much smaller than herons and egrets but much larger than the little peeps running around the waves on all USA coasts.

Marbled Godwits. Note the pattern over the wings and the very long slightly upturned beak, pink with black on the end as well as the dark legs.
Found Avocet,Willet,BG Gnatcatcher, Lesser Yellowlegs,Marbled Godwit, Dunlins at Spoonbill Pond Big Talbot Island FL today. Only decent pic of Avocet and throwaway of Godwit. Need fancier tele-extender.

"The image shows a marbled godwit, little more than a silhouetted, foraging in the shallows of a body of water. The bird is standing on one leg in the water near the shore, with its neck stretched forward and long, slightly curved bill pointing slightly downward, likely searching for food. The background features calm water with gentle ripples, and the foreground shows a sandy or muddy shore. The lighting suggests it might be early morning or late afternoon, casting a silhouette of the bird against the water. The image is interesting as it captures the natural behavior of the marbled godwit in its habitat, highlighting its distinctive features and foraging technique. It's a beautiful scene showcasing the elegance of this bird in its natural environment. - Copilot with edits

This is a marbled godwit that I saw this morning. Hmmm ... I like the scientific name Limosa Fedoan. 1/?

"The image shows a marbled godwit, a type of shorebird, standing in shallow water. The bird has a long, slightly upturned bill that is pink at the base and black at the tip. Its plumage is mottled with brown and white, providing excellent camouflage against the sandy and watery background. The marbled godwit is wading in the water, likely searching for food. The background consists of gentle waves, indicating a coastal or estuarine environment. The photograph is credited to "Swede's Photographs" in the top left corner. This image beautifully captures the marbled godwit in its natural habitat, showcasing its distinctive features and behavior." - Copilot

The bird in the photograph, with a long pink and black beak, is a marbled godwit (Limosa fedoa) that I saw on the beach at Gulfport, Mississippi.
