Limosa lapponica (Linnaeus, 1758)
Bar-tailed Godwit

The Bar-tailed Godwit was listed from Kwajalein in the paper by Clapp (1990), who called it an uncommon migrant. This one was in the green belt on Kwajalein where the old trailers used to be.

While the above bird was the only one we personally witnessed at Kwajalein, Christina Sylvester saw at least two more recently, figured below.
