Shore Birds of Cape Cod. 
S John C. Gaboon. 
Marbled Godwit, Limosa fedoa, (Linn.) This 
large shore bird, second in size to the Long- 
billed Curlew only, is a straggler from the 
south and is rare on Cape Cod. On one occas- 
ion I saw two of these birds on a marsh at 
Monomoy Island, but on account of their shy- 
ness I was unable to secure a specimen. I am 
certain of their identity as I have had much 
experience with them on the Florida coast. In 
color this bird very much resembles a Curlew, 
but instead of its bill being curved downward 
like a Curlew it is bent slightly upward.
