Marbled Godwit 18 inches
Watch for the marbled godwit in the wet prairies of the Grand Forks County. With its long slender bill, it probes the mud for aquatic invertebrates burrowed into damp soil. Step near its nest and you may hear it call, a loud kerreck or god-wit, as it tries to scare off its intruder with its swooping, defensive flight. The herculean fall migration
of the marbled godwit begins here in early August and ends as far south as Chile or
Brazil.
