Description
There are two dowitchers: short-billed and long-billed. It is difficult to tell them apart because the female short-billed dowitcher has a much longer bill than the male short-billed dowitcher. The only way to tell which is which is to listen to their sounds. To make it more difficult to identify the bird, the breeding-dowitcher is very similar to red knots in color, shape and size except that the red-knot does have a shorter bill. And the non-breeding dowitcher is similar to the willet in color, shape and size. The one in the photo could be a breeding long-billed dowitcher or a female breeding short-billed dowitcher. The photo was taken in May 2021.
