Long-billed Dowitcher - under tail 7-16-05

On the other side it almost looked like a different bird with some areas farther along in molt while others were not. Here you can see the longest tertial is gone, exposing the primaries which again fall shot of the tip of the tail. In this shot you are looking at the sides of the undertail coverts and the surface of the upper tail is not visible. There is quite a bit of barring on the undetail and all these details add up to Long-billed again.
