Just got my first Short-billed Dowitchers over here in Chicago this fall. Certainly an early date, but they are always first to arrive before the Long-billed. Great shots. Really shows the differences between them and their counterparts. Adam
wonderful photos, great close look.dan
@ILBirder and Forestal - The Dowitcher ID thing, can be a real sticky situation for many birders even the seasoned ones. I am enjoying myself getting into the intricate details of telling SBDO from LBDO. So much to learn :) Glad you both liked the photos.
