Long-billed Dowitchers probe deeply into mud or sand with an up-and-down motion likened to the needle of a sewing machine. They tend to forage in water less than about 3 inches deep. On the breeding grounds, males sing from high in the air over the territory.

 

Thanks to all who take the time to view, comment on and favor my images. It is very much appreciated.
