Short-billed Dowitchers, flying

Radio Road, Redwood Shores

The large flock of dowitchers at the Radio Road wastewater plant was put into spectacular flight by an overhead raptor flight. In my experience with this flock, the calls I usually hear from it are the Short-billed Dowitcher's "tu-tu-tu."
