Short-billed Dowitcher
A medium-sized, stocky, long-billed shorebird, the Short-billed Dowitcher’s habitat includes tidal marshes and mudflats. They migrate from the tundra in the north southward as far as Brazil.
They forage by probing in shallow water or on wet mud, eating eat insects, mollusks, crustaceans and marine worms.
It’s “short-billed” in comparison to the Long-billed Dowitcher, but longer-billed than the average shorebird.
