Short-billed Dowitcher

Limnodromus griseus

Description:

A medium to large shorebird with a long bill, the Short-billed Dowitcher is a common and conspicous migrant that uses a "sewing-machine" method of foraging across the mud flats. Its long bill is short only in comparison with the very similar Long-billed Dowitcher.

Habitat:

I spotted this bird on the shore of Florida.
