Summer Shorties

This is a previously unposted picture taken in the year that Shorties were prevalent at a Manitoba location in late December.

The name of this species could be misleading: it is 'short-billed' only by comparison to the Long-billed Dowitcher, and longer-billed than the average shorebird. Flocks of Short-billed Dowitchers wade in shallow water over coastal mudflats. They often seem rather tame, allowing a close approach when they are busy feeding. ~ Audubon.org

A short eared owl flies by searching for a meal. Patience pays off. I learned to just sit still and wait for them to come to me.
