Marbled Godwits

Kayaking Bodega Bay with Amy yesterday. Found that if we got up to speed and stopped paddling 50 feet in advance and then glided into position, the shorebirds let you get very close (like pelicans). But at about 20 feet, a viral meme seems to reverberate through the crowd very quickly, and the Marbled Godwits all take off suddenly, en masse. I wondered what it must be like to live in their tribe, snacking from the marsh, living with the weather and the tides and the groupthink.
