	Identification of Dowitchers in the Pacific Northwest
		Much useful information on dowitchers was found in the article, "The identification and migration of breeding plumaged dowitchers in southern Ontario," by Jaramillo, Pittaway, and Burke, as found in Birder's Journal 1(1):8-25, Oct. 1991.
		Of the three races, or subspecies, of Short-billed Dowitchers, caurinus is the expected form in our region, though hendersoni is rare both in spring and fall as adults, and in the fall in juvenal plumage.
		The upperpart feathers of juvenile Long-billed Dowitchers are quite plain: dark with thin cinnamon margins on the scapulars, and thin buff margins on the tertials (above, upper).

	Asiatic Dowitcher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Asiatic Dowitcher, Limnodromus semipalmatus, is a rare medium-large wader.
		The confusion species for this bird is not, as might be expected, one of the American dowitchers, which in any case do not overlap in range, because the Asian bird is much larger.
		It closely resembles a small Bar-tailed Godwit, although the dowitcher "sewing machine" feeding action and the yelping call are distinctions from the more widespread bird.

	Wildlife of the Suisun Marsh, Long and Short-billed Dowitcher (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Dowitchers nest in grass or moss tundra, wet meadows, and bogs in boreal forests.
		Dowitchers forage by moving at a slow steady pace while probing their heads rapidly up and down in soft moist mud, often completely submerging their heads.
		Dowitchers probe the mud more vigorously than other species of sandpipers, leading to their foraging technique to be described as an "animated sewing machine".

		Short-billed Dowitcher prefers protected coastal tidal flats on migration and on its wintering grounds, where it feeds on insects, mollusks, marine worms, and crustaceans.
		Both dowitchers are rather distinctive in their "sewing machine" foraging habit, in which they wade in shallow water and probe deeply and repeatedly in the mud with their sizable bills.

	Dowitcher Dilemmas
		Since the dowitchers have been coming through the last week or so, I thought it would be a good time to give some hints on telling the Short-billeds (SBD) from the Long-billeds (LBD).
		One note of interest I came across is that the name, Dowitcher, comes from the call it makes on its breeding ground during flight display and is very similar in both species.
		Dowitchers come in three plumages: breeding (which may be pretty worn when they reach here and is beginning to be lost because of molt), juvenal (likewise), and non-breeding (which the other two plumages molt into).
