Several flights of Kuaka | Godwits flew north while I was hanging out at the Dune Lake. One lot flew right over me, and so low I could hear the whirring of their wings. It was magical. 🐦

Photos from a different group.

@Miraz these birds migrated from Alaska‽ Wild! Clearly very accomplished navigators.

@rpmik They do that every year — nonstop from Alaska to NZ then I believe they take a slightly different route on the way back and stop a couple of times.
