"Calling Charles Darwin"

By now you must all have discovered that I am not great at identifying birds. Here's what I think ~ the bird in the upper picture is a Whimbrel (or is it a Long-billed Curlew)? The bird in the lower picture is a Marbled Godwit (I'm pretty sure). Except for their bills they look very similar to me. And that's what I wanted to show you. I took both pictures at the Corte Madera Marsh. I guess Charles Darwin's would have had a very plausible story about the development of these two birds.
