Well,
I'm surprised no one was willing to venture a guess on the ID of these dowitchers so I'll go ahead and add my guesses. Any opinions? Does anyone agree or disagree with my labels? Why? This is one of my favorite ID challenges and I'm still waiting for the roads to melt off so I can get to Island Park Reservoir and pick through some actual birds but this is going to have to suffice for now.
