Bird: Long-billed Dowitcher..........

Dowitchers are migratory birds, often seen foraging by the marsh and shores of South California........

A long-legged shorebird, long-billed Dowitcher (Limnodromus scolopaceus) on the sandy Laguna Beach in November. The migrating bird with grey spotted plumage, spends its winter in warm Pacific coast of North America. I am glad to see this wader before it returns to its breeding habitat in Siberia.
