Observation details
One light colored bird, possibly female, standing near 2 or 3 dark birds, possibly male. These birds are quite a bit larger than the Dowitchers. They did not behave like Dowitchers, that were constantly feeding, but stood quietly with heads erect or they preened. They were very distant and these photos were taken with 200x magnification.
