Very cool! Shorebirds are really interesting to watch, and often frustrating when trying to id them!

Thank you. ID is a great exercise in frustration with shorebirds.

Very nice, John. Shorebirds in general can be frustrating to ID and short- vs. long-billed dowitchers darned-near impossible.

Thanks Dave. We only have had a few species reported so far. Probably about right for the time of year.

Thanks P. I haven't been taking many photos and doing other things so I wasn't visiting much.
