Hi - yesterday at Willband Creek. First time seen for me.... only saw this one briefly....smallish bird. One pic and then off it flew across the water. Also saw my first Spotted Sandpiper and I think a Long-bill Dowitcher.... and also quite far away. Attachments:

I think you're right about it being a Long-billed Dowitcher. I don't think it's a Short-billed Dowitcher.

Okay - a tad confused... is the first pic I sent a longbilled dowitcher? It seemed to small to me. Here is another pic of what I thought was a long-billed dowitcher with a spotted sandpiper...Pic not so good because too far away. The pic I send intially looks somewhat the same but it seemed quite a bit smaller - in fact when it flew across the water towards me and landed about 10 feet away from me, I expected to see some kind of small sandpiper and instead saw this (first pic).

Yes, your first picture was of a Long-billed Dowitcher. The second picture also has a Long-billed Dowitcher.
