Short-billed Dowitcher
Limnodromus griseus Order CHARADRIIFORMES - Family SCOLOPACIDAE
A medium to large shorebird with a long bill, the Short-billed Dowitcher is a common and conspicous migrant that uses a "sewing-machine" method of foraging across the mud flats. Its long bill is short only in comparison with the very similar Long-billed Dowitcher.

Description
A medium-sized shorebird with a bill twice as long as its head.
Moderately long, pale legs.

Size: 25-29 cm (10-11 in)
Weight: 90-120 g (3.18-4.24 ounces)
