The aptly named Long Billed Dowitchers stop off at Ridgefield NWR to refuel on their northern migration.
Fortunately, not at the #RidgefieldWA Chevron that is selling gas at $5.39/gallon

A break from all the Short Eared Owl images to enjoy a stroll along the #RNWR mudflats with a pair of Long Billed #Dowitchers
The @friendsofrnwr.bsky.social volunteers were very helpful to the large numbers of #birders !

I think it must be a Law of Nature that it is impossible for four Long Billed Dowitchers to all have their beaks out of the water at once..

Flock of wading birds in shallow waters. Sunset light and reflections from reeds show in the water. The birds are dowitchers. Small shore birds.

Center frame, three Short-billed Dowitchers, graze in marsh shallows. In breeding plumage, Short-billed Dowitchers are orange, brown, and golden shorebirds with long beaks, contrary to their name.
Happy Thursday friends... The second half of migration is underway as the birds who came north in spring have begun meandering south. Thankful I found Short-billed Dowitchers still in breeding plumage at a stopover site. #birds #ohbirding #wildlife #naturephotography #shorebirds #dowitchers
Need some positivity right now, so here's a Short-billed Dowitcher I found at Pea Island, NC, last week.
I really like the fading evening light on this one. #birds #dowitchers

We must have seen over 200 Long Billed #Dowitchers (on left) on the lake at Ridgefield NWR and 100+ Lesser #Sandpipers, the smallest #shorebird weighing less than an ounce (28g). Despite the numbers, it was impossible to image them without one bill in the water!

A Long-billed Dowitcher in water. Brown speckled bird with a long, thin bill.
For #WaterWednesday, there were so many shorebirds that made an appearance at one of our local wetlands, and here’s one of them… a Long-billed Dowitcher. 😍

Birdwatching a flock of five long Billed Dowitcher birds hunting for food in the shores of the lake at Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge in the Pacific Northwest
Always some of the early migrants, several flocks of Long-Billed Dowitchers were searching the shores for sustenance for their northerly journey.

🌎 Short-billed dowitcher (Limnodromus griseus) The Short-billed dowitcher is a stocky, medium-sized shorebird of the Americas, with a long, slightly decurved bill. In breeding plumage, males are beautifully patterned with rich orange, brown, and black, while females are more subdued. They probe mudflats with their bills in a rapid, sewing-machine-like motion to feed on invertebrates. During migration and winter, they form large flocks and can be found on coastal mudflats, marshes, and agricultural fields.
