Observation details

Pale colored godwit, with distinct contrasting patterning. long, two-toned, upturned bill. We didn’t notice it at first because it was continuously probing in water up to its belly, but when it raised its beak above the water, was clearly a godwit. differentiated from more typical marbled godwits by size, pale coloration, and pattern. Will upload shaky digiscoped photos and video
