The Hudsonian Godwit is a large shorebird notable for its graceful long upturned bill, its long legs and boldly colored breeding plumage. The stilt-like legs allow the Hudsonian Godwit to wade out into deeper water, using their long bills which are flexible at the tip, to find and eat invertebrate prey in the mud. Learn about the Hudsonian Godwit species and check out our comic book made to illustrate the challenges that Bico, the Hudsonian Godwit, faces in her early life.
