Limnodromus griseus

Date taken: May 10 2026

Details: adult

Hillman Marsh - Similar to Long-billed. Bill usually shorter and it begins to gently curve downward about one third of the way from the tip. In spring plumage there is spotting rather than barring on the breast near the bend in the wing which is found in Long-billed.
With dowitchers, no two birds are alike with markings.

Chris: A terrific photo and post all around - including the welcomed details on identifications.
Brian Morin: Dowitchers are among the most challenging birds to identify in spring. These are just a few of the helpful hints to consider to separate the species. Fall is a breeze.

📍 Map

Details: female, adult

Near Bonville - This is a Blue-winged x Golden-winged hybrid. Apparently females may have yellow below while males tend to be off white. One way or another this rare find for me was unexpected.

One of the recurring highlight birds on the trip near Los Bancos - and to top it off, the song of this species adds to the mystery of the jungle. Seen in several places - this one at Milpe.

As the book says, this bird could be mistaken at first for many other types of birds. Not put off by an Andean Bear nearby, had only 1 photo click and fortunately it was in focus. Bellavista Forest Reserve

Brian Morin: You are correct. That bird could be mistaken for other species.

Great Grey Owl (55)

Strix nebulosa

Brian Morin

Canada (Ontario)

Details: immature

Eastern Ontario - I'm not fond of taking pictures of birds on wires but this rare winter visitor changed my mind. It was hunting in mid-morning which means it was hungry. This photo is cropped and I'm shooting at 800mm so I'm not nearly as close as it looks.
