The Long-billed Dowitcher is one of the larger shorebirds seen in North America. Close observation of the bird is needed of the length of its bill and its call, because it is very similar in appearance to the Short-billed Dowitcher. These shorebirds are usually only seen during their spring and fall migrations.

ABA - American Birding Association This site represents an organization that maintains official records of all birds species that have been proven to have been seen inside the perimeters of the North American Continent and the surrounding bodies of water. Regular revised versions are posted to keep the bird list current at all times. This is the list used by all serious birders over their lifetime. You may be aware of the movie called the "Big Year". It was with this list that all the competing birders used in an attempt to set a new record as to how many bird species that could be seen by an individual birder in one calendar year.
