Bar-tailed Godwit Limosa lapponica with Black-bellied Plover Pluvialis squatarola at Mud Bay, Homer, 7 May 2009.

This male Bar-tailed Godwit made an appearance at the Homer Shorebird Festival yesterday and today.  Bar-tailed Godwits are trans-Beringian migrants that breed in Western Alaska, but it’s a very good bird for the Kenai Peninsula.
