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.

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.
