20111011 - 1 036 Long-billed Dowitcher.jpg

Constance Bay

Another "Lifer". This Dowitcher was one of five Dowitchers + one Hudsonian Godwit ( http://www.pbase.com/image/138926993 ) that we encountered along the shores of Constance Bay. All six were very approachable and let us come to within 10 feet of them. When we left, they continued to feed and/or sleep.
