Marbled Godwit
I walked down to the beach at Oceanside, California during my recent trip to San Diego, and shot this shorebird going about it's task of finding food in the sand. Not until I got home did I realize I didn't know this bird and after researching it I believe it to be a Marbled Godwit. So, another new bird for me! I have to laugh because I was thinking yellowlegs, but then of course these legs aren't yellow. And the bill is so much longer than a yellowlegs as well as being bicolor.
