Help - I'm going nuts trying to ID this shorebird. I've been through 5 different birding guides with no luck. As I was approaching I thought it was a Dowitcher, but once I got close enough and saw the bill was shorter and the feathers were a smooth brown color I knew it wasn't. It's very similar to the Willets that were further down the pond but leg and feather colors weren't correct.
The bird was somewhere between 10" - 15" (nothing nearby to get a relative size). I didn't get to see any wing detail in flight as someone stopped to ask for directions and that's when he decided to take off. Anyone have an ID to help with with? Take with D2H, 600 f/4, 1.4x TC, iso 200, wb: auto, tone normal Thanks, Scott |
