cccougar Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Is this a Willet I photographed yesterday at the beach in South Carolina? An Eastern Willet at that? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akandula Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Yes, this is a Willet. However, it's a member of the Western subspecies; note the long, thin bill and tall, gray appearance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cccougar Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 So not the Eastern Willet? The long bill half black is distinctive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Spencer Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Are East and West still considered subspecies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
