MWM Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I was hoping some of these pics of 2 dowitchers are identifiable as Short, Long, or one of each. (Previously posted along with a Hudsonian Godwit for size comparison). Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexHenry Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 The reason no one has answered is because these birds are not readily identifiable. Even with better photos they would likely not be readily identifiable. The “/“ option exists for a reason! That being said, migrating inland dowitchers in October are generally much more likely to be Long-billed. Based on location, date, and habitat, I would guess Long-billed if I really had to… which you don’t… personally I also think body structure looks better for Long. In summary, they aren’t really identifiable, but probably Long-billed 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexHenry Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 (edited) @MWMPlease include date it’s really important here. I’m assuming the pictures were taken in October Edited October 11, 2022 by AlexHenry 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
