Tim Emmerzaal Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Not sure about the Dowitcher, is it a shot or long-billed? First time seeing them so no real experience with ID'ing these. The other two I believe are Willet and Ruddy Trunstone. Seen at Madeira Beach on the west coast of Florida on Aug 20. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexHenry Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Looks like a Short-billed to me, but this can not be 100% reliably identified without hearing it or studying it from more angles/in flight 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Emmerzaal Posted August 31 Author Share Posted August 31 Thanks, I will have a look if I have any other angles. I for sure have no flight shots and I heard no sound from them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avery Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Beautiful photos! Bill shape points to Short-billed, but I agree with @AlexHenry 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Emmerzaal Posted August 31 Author Share Posted August 31 Unfortunately not, they kept stationary at all times when I was shooting them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
