After seeing the result of the 1st AWC done in SJ and a lone suspected SBD was seen and photographed by Ivan, I went on a side trip to Pinagbayanan when my wife, Aphine, had to go to SJ on personal matters. It was a long shot but enough, I think, to get a positive ID. The deeper forehead angle, arching supercilum, the bill begins to gently curve downward about one third of a bill length away from the tip, distinguishes it from Long-billed Dowitcher. ShortLong-billed Dowitcher ( Limnodromus griseus scolapaceus) - Pinagbayanan, San Juan, Batangas, January 30, 2010 5DM2 + 600mm f4 IS + 2x Kenko TC, f10, 1/800sec, ISO 640, Manual exposure, Tripod-Gimbal support. 56.7m    |

Congratulation Neon for this rare capture! Look like the same as Ivan Long-billed Dowitcher (Limnodromus scolapaceus) the bill is a little bet long than the Short-billed Dowitcher (Limnodromus griseus). That is why i really want to do ringing or banding shorebird in the country soon, hopefully we push through the ringing next year.
Congratulations!

Congratulations on this rare and difficult capture. Anything over 50 meters is a difficult shot. You pictures came out very clear. Well done Neon. Mabuhay.

Congratulations on capturing this rarity, Neon!. Interesting that it is quite rare there whereas they are so common here in winter we don't pay attention to them anymore ;D

Thanks Guys!! Congratulation Neon for this rare capture! Look like the same as Ivan Long-billed Dowitcher (Limnodromus scolapaceus) the bill is a little bet long than the Short-billed Dowitcher (Limnodromus griseus). That is why i really want to do ringing or banding shorebird in the country soon, hopefully we push through the ringing next year. Congratulations! @ Godo, yes, I think this is the same bird as that of Ivan's and after reviewing the features of both Short and Long-billed in the surfbird link you sent, I do agree with you that it's a Long-billed after all. I based this on the parameters that was discussed in this article. |
