The Long-billed Dowitcher is a medium-sized shorebird known for its distinctive long bill, which it uses to probe mud and shallow water for food. This bird has a mottled brown and gray plumage, providing excellent camouflage in its wetland habitats. It is commonly found in North America during migration and breeds in the northern regions of Canada and Alaska. These birds are often seen in flocks, especially during migration periods. They feed primarily on invertebrates, such as worms and crustaceans, and are known for their unique feeding behavior, where they rapidly move their bills in and out of the mud. The Long-billed Dowitcher is an important species for monitoring wetland health and biodiversity.
