Godwit Days

Come to Arcata, meet a Godwit.

The Arcata Marsh used to be an industrial wasteland. Then we got rid of the trash and restored the wetlands. "Waste of money," wailed Arcata's right wing "pro-growth" opposition. "Who will ever go there?" Meanwhile, word of the new nesting grounds got out among the Pacific Coast migrating bird population.

Ride your bike or walk to The Marsh. Either way, the birds don't seem to mind.
