a whimbrel is a type of curlew, which is in the same family as the godwit. those do not sound like words
Not the best of photos here, but here's a godwit I saw when I was in Isilkul several years ago. At least I think that's a godwit
Wish you well! Hope you get better
Paxon:
Yes it looks like a Black-tailed Godwit.
Marbled Godwit (Limosa fedoa) September, Southern California USA
Spec-Dinovember Day 26: Mud Sifter, a theropod specialized for feeding on small invertebrates
Returning to Elan Bank and the Kerguelen Plateau from day 19, the limited number of founding taxa present during the bank's breakaway has allowed many niches to be filled by unorthodox clades. Noasaurs are already unorthodox creatures without an island environment, so the ones marooned here have become even more odd. Numeniasaurus limulus is a elaphrosaurine that has become specialized in feeding on the worms, snails, and crustaceans that burrow into the muddy coastal volcanic sands. They can be found in large flocks feeding on the flats during low tide, retreating to sheltered cliffsides and uplands of tussock grasses during high tide.

I swear when I started this one I wasn't looking at ibises! I was going with the idea of Limusaurus as a godwit, but the upturned snout reminded me of Alec Baldwin's face stretch thing from Beetlejuice, so then I looked at curlews, and when I finished drawing the beak I stepped back and realized that's just an ibis. Ah well, chalk that one up to convergent evolution and call it a day! So then I leaned into that and gave it a bald head and neck like the Australian white ibis, and a little neck ruff. I wanted to make the ruff into the hood turkey vultures have, as I imagine these critters would have need of keeping warm where I've placed them. They'd probably just have fuzzy necks and heads instead, but maybe they need to go bald for picking into beached carcasses or something, I dunno

The Pin-Tailed Godwit was back today. A lovely little shorebird that you wouldn't expect to see in a park, let alone multiple times.
Some of my art - Oil paintings
This one is of a godwit surrounded by Lunaria annua, better known as annual honesty.
This was my first oil painting EVER, and I am so happy with how it turned out, it is defintely one of my favourites !
This one is of a STURGEON ! I LOVE LOVE LOVE STURGEONS ! The text is from newspaper article from the 50s or something. The newspaper is called 'Great Falls' , the article is about a huge sturgeon being caught in the Flathead Lake.
This painting was an experiment for me, I had never painted fish before, so this was my first try.
This is a started, but not finished painting of a pretty generic beetle, I might make it a Polyphylla fullo, or pine chafer.
This one if of two butterflies, I forgot which species, on some thistles. Not much of a story behind this one, I just really wanted to paint something and I grabbed a picture from my calender (which had a picture for each day of the year).
This one is a painting of a tree (you can imagine it as the tree of life, or Yggdrasil or whatever you please) which I saw in my dreams. It actually started out as an acryl painting, but I never could make any painting work with acryl, so I went over it with oil. It is still a work in progress.
This is a landscape painting from an archeological site in Turkey, it is not finished yet. I might just use the colours already visible on the canvas, or I might add a splash of bright red, because the site was surrounded by the most gorgeous poppy fields.
