    Default ID? WIllet and Godwit?



    I tried looking these up. Can someone confirm if I got them right, is the foreground a Willet and the background a marbled Godwit?

    I thought Limpkin at first, but the beak curves up.

    There were two of these among a hundred of the foreground birds. In the harsh light by eye (this was with fill flash) they looked a lot alike except the beak. The colors came out a lot better in the camera than the eye.

    I didn't get any really good shots of them, too far, bad angle, but am trying to learn which bird is what.

    Yes, looks like a marbled godwit on the left and a willet on the right.

    I concur with Axel, back bird is Marbled Godwit and front bird is a Willet

    Thank you.

    I guess I really need to start using key-words to track these, eventually I may want to know how close I am to getting all the birds in the area.

    unfortunately being in S. Florida I would expect to stay in the single digit percentages for a long time!
