Marbled Godwit migration characterized with satellite telemetry

The Condor, 2014
ABSTRACT Marbled Godwits (Limosa fedoa) breed in 3 disparate areas: The majority breed in the prairies of midcontinental North America, but there are also 2 small and widely separated tundra-breeding populations, 1 in eastern Canada and 1 on the Alaska Peninsula, USA. The major winter ranges include the Atlantic, Pacific, and Gulf coasts of the USA and

Marbled Godwit Collides with Aircraft at 3,700 m

The Wilson Journal of Ornithology, 2008
Abstract On 25 August, 2007, a Marbled Godwit (Limosa fedoa) was struck by a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 at 3,700 m. The bird was identified by examination of feather remains recovered from the aircraft and represents an altitude record for this species.

First Nest Discovered for Alaska Subspecies of Marbled Godwit

Northwestern Naturalist, 1996
Marbled godwits (Limosa fedoa) were first recorded in Alaska in 1881 at Ugashik, on the Alaska Peninsula, but were not positively observed in the state again until 1967 (Gibson and Kessel 1989). On 3 June 1982, marbled godwits were rediscovered at Ugashik Bay during aerial waterfowl surveys and were confirmed 12 June 1982 by M. E.

An Albinistic Marbled Godwit: A First Record

The Condor, 1975
Albinism occurs infrequently in the family Scolopacidae as compared to other avian families (Sage 1963, Gross 1965). There are apparently no previous records of albinism for the Marbled Godwit (Limosa fedoa) (Ross 1963), although there is one record each for the Hudsonian Godwit (Limosa haemastica) (Deanne 1880), and the Bar-tailed Godwit (Limosa ...

Phenotypic Sexing of Marbled Godwits (Limosa Fedoa): A Molecular Validation

Waterbirds, 2013
Abstract.—Marbled Godwits (Limosa fedoa) do not present obvious sexual dimorphism, although females are known to be slightly larger than males, on average. During the nonbreeding seasons between August 2007 and April 2009, a noninvasive technique was tested that might permit phenotypic identification of sex in a large sample of individuals from the ...

Late summer time budget and feeding behaviour of marbled godwits (Limosa fedoa) in southern Manitoba

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1980
Marbled godwit (Limosa fedoa) foraging, social behaviour, and habitat use were studied in late summer in southern Manitoba. The flocks spent most of their time using three small potholes on the study area. Time budget activity changed cyclically over the day; birds spent 61.3% of the day feeding.

Diurnal Abundance, Foraging Behavior and Habitat Use by Non-Breeding Marbled Godwits and Willets at Guerrero Negro, Baja California Sur, México

Waterbirds, 2009
Abstract. Seasonal variation in abundance, time activity budgets and foraging behavior of non-breeding Marbled Godwits (Limosa fedoa) and Willets (Tringa semipalmata) were compared at four sites at the Laguna Ojo de Liebre—Guerrero Negro saltworks complex, Baja California, Mexico. Habitat use varied between species, seasons and sites.
