On a brief stroll we saw a ring-necked duck with yellow and black ducklings, a dowitcher and a kingfisher among others. |
The range of the dowitcher is limited to the eastern part of North America. |
Other shorebirds that eat leaf-beetles are the Wilson phalarope and dowitcher. |
The female is about the size of a dowitcher, and the male is similar in size to a Greater Yellowlegs. |
Now that the dowitcher has been definitely shown to breed in Alberta, these records look authentic. |
Often described as looking like a yellowlegs and feeding like a dowitcher, the Stilt Sandpiper is a medium-sized, long-legged wader. |
