[rant] I swear, shorebirds are goin to drive me (more) insane. [/rant]
I'm pretty sure these are dowitchers but I'd like confirmation or correction. If these are indeed dows, don't worry about exactly which species; Merlin reported hearing Short-billed repeatedly, and they're far more common at this location than Longs.
Thanks.
