I stopped in at Tualatin River NWR nr Sherwood this morning, in hop4s that the
abrupt weather change might have led to some grounding of shorebirds. Among a
few each of LEAST S and WESTERN S were five LONG-BILLED DOWITCHERS and what I'm
quite sure were two STILT SANDPIPERS hanging with the dows – long, thin,
drooping bill, small-headed, longer-necked, a bit dumpy looking, slightly
smaller overall than the associating dows. This was about 08:00 on the far big
pond, viewed from the deck by the refuge bookstore bldg. (I had no time to walk
the dike road to get a closer look, unfortunately).
Hope someone can check these out!
