Often very common on the coast, especially so at Morro Bay and Bodega Bay, Marbled Godwits could be found in large flocks, a significant high tide roost at Bodega was up in the 500's. All of the images hewre are from Morro Bay from near the Marina.
Whilst photographing a flock of Marbled Godwits, all the birds featured here are from the same flock, two birds started to have a disagreement over something or other. This argument went on for sometime and I took the opportunity to take these shots. The winner of the fight is obvious.
