Observation details
Life List. 12:22 PM, (37.46313, -122.00491). Juvenile bird first found by Mike Rogers on 15-Nov-2013. Seen next to a Marbled Godwit. It seemed to have shorter legs and its body was stocky and front-heavy. Its bill seemed longer than a Marbled Godwit's, upturned and bicolored, with a dark tip and pinkish for about 2/3 of its length. The bird was obviously lighter in color than a Marbled Godwit, with its underside looking pretty close to being white. It stood in several inches of water, but at one point it picked up its right foot to scratch its head and I could clearly see that it did not have a right foot.
