Media notes
Original recording was spliced to consolidate the dowitcher vocalizations. Two-note calls given at 0:01, 0:09, 0:13, 0:19. One-note call given at 0:26. Two 3-note flight calls given at 0:36.
Observation details
Identified definitively by distinctive vocalizations and flight calls which ruled out Long-billed Dowitcher. Plumage consistent with “prairie” Short-billed Dowitcher (orange underparts marked with small dark spots rather than bars, upperparts with buff and white margins of scapular feathers). Note also extensive white barring on tail, and extensive dark marks on lesser coverts of the underside of the forewing.
