Marbled Godwit Limosa fedoa not practicing social physical distancing Dekle Beach Florida 2019

Dekle Beach Florida – Americana Collection

A Marbled Godwit Limosa fedoa stands out in the crowd of seabirds on a pier in Dekle Beach on the Florida Gulf Coast. When this image was captured the phrase "physical social distancing" was barely known. Now, during the pandemic spread of the SARS-CoV2 novel coronavirus causing COVID-19, this collection of birds serves as a reminder for everyone to keep a safe distance from others to avoid illness or death. We are all in this together.
