Black-tailed Godwits are called Gruttos in Dutch and residents of the Netherlands are proud to host a significant percentage of the world population of Gruttos during breeding season. The finding of the first Grutto egg every spring always made the (birdy) news headlines.

My name is Amy and I live in the Chicago area.
Besides birding I love to travel.

[...] A good way to see birds is with a boat tour through the park, but there are also bird hides available where you can see water birds like Black-tailed Godwits, and with a little bit of luck Spoonbills. [...]
