Bar-tailed Godwit Flying Over Wind-Scoured Ridge in on a wind-scoured ridge near Al Qadarif

Bar-tailed Godwit Flying Over Wind-Scoured Ridge

by Zoe Larson

Soft gray light falls through low-hanging clouds, illuminating a bar-tailed godwit soaring above a vast, wet mudflat. The bird's wings stretch wide, displaying mottled brown and white feathers that catch the diffused midday glow. Below, the wind-scoured ridge near Al Qadarif shows deep grooves carved into the dark, damp earth. Cool season moisture glistens on the uneven ground, reflecting the heavy sky. The low angle emphasizes the bird's height against the expansive horizon. A sharp shadow of the wingtip falls across the rippled mud, marking the exact moment of passage.
