Last week I spent some time at the Outer Banks in Avon, NC. Lots to see and do, but the real treat was seeing all the migrating shorebirds scanning the surf looking for crustaceans. Most I have seen many times before, but on this trip I spotted several birds new to me. Mixed in with the hundreds of other birds were maybe three Marbled Godwits that appeared strange and sort of out of place.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. The Outer Banks is the place to go now for migrating shorebirds.
