Short-billed Dowitcher, Limnodromus griseus:
Dunedin Causeway to Honey Moon Island, Florida
I heard about the Dunedin Causeway while shooting at Fort
Desoto State Park. It sounded like a
great place, but I was on my way south and decided I would make that stop on
another trip. However, while on the east
coast of Florida and one day left on my trip I decided to drive across the
state and check out Dunedin. I am so
happy I did! There were a lot of
shorebirds on the causeway, Turnstones, Sanderlings, Short-billed Dowitchers,
Willets, Dunlins, Black-bellied Plovers and Marbled Godwits. This shot this image as the dowitcher briefly
raised it's head while probing the debris of the wrack line. What do I like about this image? That it raised its right leg and hind toe sticking
our from its foot.
