R, Clapp - 1964 
Nov. 15 Makin Atoll, Gilbert Islands 
ana a Godwit, and I shot three Godwits with 
four shots. 
The bill size' on the Godv/its varied tremendously 
Two individuals had bills only about half as long 
as the other two. These birds •« with the short 
bills weigned less also. (They looked different 
enough so that the others that thought that they 
might . be owo different srecies.) later , when 
I skinned the birds in the afternoon it proved 
to be a case of sexual dimorphism with the males 
possessing the short . bills and the females the 
long bills.
