Long-billed Dowitcher

Limnodromus scolopaceus

Near Threatened

The Long-billed Dowitcher is a shorebird of North American wetlands, coasts, woodlands, and their seasonal migration routes. It uses its bill, legs, and alert flight to feed on invertebrates, seeds, or small aquatic prey along coasts, mudflats, rivers, lakes, grasslands, or open ground; many shorebirds make impressive seasonal movements between breeding and non-breeding areas.
