Seen yesterday with a lot of other shorebirds. He was the largest one there and seemed to be the only one of his kind at this location down the shore.

Among some of the other birds. Thank you!

Good Shots Pelle! I think its called a Marbled Godwit.

That would make me very happy if it were.

Well I took another look at your bird, and its a match for a Marbled in my guide, there is also a Hudsonian Godwit but my guide has fall bird plumage of those and they do not look like your bird. My guide has the range for a Marbled as very common along the Pacific coast, Texas, and the southeast. Color range indicates for your area, winter/scarce. Resin please say a Marbled! lol

Yep, Marbled Godwit.
