Marbled Godwit & Snack

I was at Fort Desoto early this week and found about 100 of these feeding in the shallows at North Beach. With so many it was hard to isolate a single bird. This is one of few going after a breakfast snack.

I love the pose and the obvious concentration on the prey, Bill. Nice job.

Very nice. The worm adds a lot to the overall image. I've never sen this species in such numbers - that would be awesome.

Sweet light, good detail and sharpness. Nice little bit of action also.

Oh, too bad he missed the snack. However, a lovely capture.
