The Marbled Godwit (Limosa fedoa) is native to North America. Its breeding range is primarily located in the northern Great Plains of the United States and Canada, including central Canada, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, and Minnesota. During migration, Marbled Godwits can be found across a wide range of the continental United States, and they overwinter along the Pacific, Gulf of Mexico, and Atlantic coasts from the United States as far south as Central America.

Marbled Godwits typically inhabit open grasslands and wetlands during the breeding season. They favor areas with shallow water and mudflats, which provide ample feeding grounds. The environmental conditions of their breeding habitat include temperate climates with seasonal variations, relying on wetland areas for nesting and foraging.

Marbled Godwits are adapted to a life in expansive grasslands and wetland habitats where they act as ground-nesting birds. Their long bills are well-suited for probing into mud to extract invertebrates, which compose a significant part of their diet. They often exploit areas that undergo seasonal flooding, which rejuvenates their feeding habitats.
