Saul Panzer Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I'd like thoughts on this being either a Long billed or Short billed Dowitcher please.

Nighthawk01 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Looks like a Short-billed to iBird Photo Sleuth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inastrangeland Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Yep, short-billed. See how the buffy colour extends all the way up those feathers? Among other things, the buffy colour would be more limited to the tips in long-billed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Panzer Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 Great, thanks all! I hate having an either/or sighting in my lists (such as Downey/Hairy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
