Definition
The 'genus Limosa' encompasses a group of wading birds known as godwits. Godwits are distinguished by their long legs, slender necks, and elongated, slightly upturned bills. These birds inhabit wetlands, mudflats, and coastal regions around the world. They are migratory, undertaking long journeys between breeding and wintering grounds. Their probing bills allow them to feed on invertebrates buried in the mud. Think of them as the long-legged explorers of the mudflats.
