Observation details
On far W side of landfill pond, viewed through fence on E side. Discovered around 0650. Ad dowitcher in alt plumage w/ boldly patterned upperparts and orange underparts, long bill, sewing machine feeding action. From LBDO principally by call - a rapid volley of 2-3 notes “tu-du-du”, recalling RUTU or a LEYE on speed - very unlike single “hiic” note of LBDO. Flew around the pond briefly, flight shots showing a heavily barred underwing without the clear white area close to leading edge of inner wing shown by LBDO. Underparts extensively orange through belly, vent and undertail coverts, center of breast clear orange w/o dark marks, suggesting hendersoni ssp, Photos and audio coming.
