Have never seen this one. You caught the field marks needed to ID. Well done! |
This one is pretty easy. Nothing else has that long orange bill! |

Short Billed Dowitcherby scooter97Comment by scooter97: Originally posted by patches:
Another new one to me - wonder with that bill what they specialize in eating. |
Some very tiny food items. I didn't see them open their beaks while they were probing in the muck at the pond's edge. |

Short Billed Dowitcherby scooter97Comment by scooter97: Originally posted by hahn23:
Great in flight capture. Nice markings, especially the upper rump and pale secondaries... unique to dowitchers. Would be rare in Colorado. We have Wilson's Snipe which are somewhat similar. |
There were Snipe at this pond as well. I've never seen one of those in flight. |

Northern Shovelersby scooter97Comment by scooter97: Originally posted by hahn23:
Great male and female shot in the same frame. Well done! I'll go looking for this bird in a few days. |
I wasn't expecting to see this duck this weekend. All of our local (philly area) Shovelers have been gone for a few weeks now. |
