Graceful Marbled Godwit
We spotted this Marbled Godwit at Stinson Beach National Recreation Area. Stinson’s white sand and pristine oceanfront make it one of the best swimming beaches in northern California. The birds on this beach had no fear of humans as they startled only when being chased by children. This graceful shorebird is speckled in browns with a cinnamon wash that is especially noticeable when it spreads its long and pointed wings to take flight. We had a wonderful time splashing in the water and can’t wait to get back.
