Marbled Godwit at San Pablo

Classed as 'uncommon' in this area by Merlin, there were a hundred or so of them loitering about when I was there. Merlin says: "Probes into sand or mud with its long bill for aquatic invertebrates. Sometimes walks while probing or takes a few steps before burying its bill into the mud."
