Dowitcher Duo
Up and down, up and down rhythmically. That's how they feed, often compared to the motion of a sewing machine. They move their bills up and down probing the shallow coastal waters searching for insects.
This pair was among a large flock of Short-billed Dowitchers on the shore of East Beach, Fort DeSoto, Florida.
