ChristineTX Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Hi, I am new to this. I took these pictures of a dowitcher on August 2, 2019 in Waco, Texas. Could someone please tell me if this is a long-billed or a short-billed dowitcher? It was by itself, and it didn't call or make any sounds. THANK YOU!!!

akiley Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Barring on the sides of the breast is good for Long-billed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inastrangeland Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Agreed with long-billed. The feathers on the wings have Buffy edges that travel all the way up the feather...short-billed have the buffy area limited to the tips. ...that's my tell anyways.
