These guys were on Fort Myers Beach, flew in as a four bird group. Thought they were snipes but they don't match my Audobon book.

I believe you are correct, thanks Phil. That is a first for me. You would think it would be in my field guide....

Great shots, hope you had a good time on Ft. Myers Beach, did you get to Lovers Key or Sanibel?

Glad you had a good time. Wind has been up and surf rough lately, which keeps the bird population off the beach.

Swamp Gator had it right, they are Marbled Godwits. They are frequent visitors to the Florida Coastline. Fort Meyers gets it fair share. Sorry I didn't see this sooner.
