Marbled Godwit

Limosa fedoa (Linnaeus, 1758)

Scolopacidae — Sandpipers, Snipes

Marbled Godwit, Limosa fedoa, breeds across subarctic to temperate grassland in North America, with separate populations in Alaska, central and south-central Canada, the north-central United States, and the James Bay area. It is a shorebird in the sandpiper family and is the largest of the godwits. In the non-breeding season it moves to coastal areas of the southern United States and Mexico, from Washington and Baja California through the Gulf of California to central Panama, and from New Jersey to Florida and the Gulf of Mexico to the Yucatán Peninsula.
