Godwits

Godwits are arctic waders renowned for the long distant trans Pacific flight from Alaska to Tasmania without a stopover. In Australia there are 2 species of Godwit and a comparison will help identify and separate the Bar-tailed and Black-tailed.

@@chengwang411 Evolution as a theory has many gaps. Bird migration is one. Reason is at the end of the spectrum and at the first is the cell wall. For it is the most complex structure of any organism and needed before any reproductive process can be initiated.
