Hudsonian Godwit
Limosa haemastica

The Hudsonian Godwit is an uncommon and very local fall migrant in Massachusetts, best known for its spectacular, non-stop flights to South America. Wintering in southern Argentina and Chile, it increasingly appears that most godwits may fly non-stop from James Bay in northern Ontario to Patagonia.
