Birds

Bar-tailed godwit (Limosa lapponica) stands in profile facing left in this October 2025 watercolor by Gina, alone on white, with a long forward-pointing bill, deep rust breast and scalloped gray-brown wings. Painted for the Puzzling prompt, day 26 of Inktober 2025, because details of its migration remain unknown. It is known for a nonstop flight from Alaska to New Zealand.
