Long-billed dowitchers (winter plumage)        Images © Mark A. Chappell

These long-billed dowitchers are in winter plumage (in spring they molt into a much brighter rusty breeding plumage).   They were resting on a mostly frozen pond at the San Jacinto Wildlife Area near Riverside, California (one is with a dunlin).

Another page has more images of long-billed dowitchers; this page has pictures of short-billed dowitchers.
