	NatureWorks - Willet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The willet is a large shorebird that is a member of the sandpiper family.
		The willet forages in mudflats, intertidal areas, and shallow marsh waters and snatches up food from the surface or the water or it probes in the mud with its long bill.
		Willets are very territorial and will aggressively defend their nesting and feeding territory.

		Willets which I have found breeding on the coasts of Louisiana and Texas have proved to be referable to the eastern form.
		Willets on their breeding grounds are among the noisiest and most demonstrative of birds.
		Willets of some form, in immature plumage, are quite common at times in southern New England and on Long Island from the middle of July to the middle of September.

		A large sandpiper of the interior West and the ocean beaches, the Willet is known by its piercing calls and bright fl-and-white flashing wings.
		Willets breeding in the interior of the West differ from the Atlantic Coastal form in ecology, morphology, and subtly in calls.
		Western Willets breed in freshwater habitats, and are slightly larger and paler gray.

	The Semipalmated Snipe, or Willet.
		The Willets rarely failed to fly close over the dog, and as he now and then, playfully, as it were, approached me, the birds came within shooting distance.
		The Willets retire to the interior of the larger salt-marshes for the purpose of forming their nests and raising their broods in security.
		The food of the Willet consists of aquatic insects, small crabs, and fiddlers, which they procure either by pursuing them on foot or by probing for them in their burrows, along the mud-bars, and in the crevices of the creeks and salt-water ditches.

	Lewis and Clark as Naturalists
		Belonging to the sandpiper family, the willet shares the stilt-like legs and long, tapered bill with many members of the family.
		The willet is a drab brown and gray bird that can be difficult to distinguish from other shore birds probing the water margins for worms, crustaceans, mollusks, and small fish.
		Lewis was astute in recognizing the bird was both similar and different from shore birds he had seen in the East, yet he placed the willet with plovers, which are an entirely different family of probing birds best distinguished by their shorter and more blunt bills.

	Willet Species Account - Florida Breeding Bird Atlas
		According to Stevenson and Anderson (1994), breeding Willets inhabit "shortgrass salt marshes and beaches where dunes rise above the high-tide line and are covered with clumps of beach grass (Panicum amarum) and sea oats (Uniola paniculata)." The Willet sometimes nests on open beaches but, most often, the nest is carefully hidden in marsh grasses.
		The Willet is a semicolonial breeder, in the sense that several pairs often nest closely together.
		Willets nest along the entire Florida coastline, and it is highly likely that they breed in almost every location where they are mapped.

	Backing up Slim Willet

		Willet (verified by his widow, Abilenian Jimmie Moore) then spent 10 months re-working "Stars," though retaining its wrap-around meter which would become famous through the 100-plus different recordings and millions of sales of the country-crossover hit.
		Willet died in Abilene in 1966 and is buried in his birthplace of Victor, near DeLeon.

	Birds and Nature: Some Facts About the Western Willet
		The Western Willet is one of the largest of the Limicolae or Shore Birds.
		I have never seen a bird which at times could be so wary and hard to approach, and again, if a number are shot from a flock, the remaining birds will seem to lose their senses, and I have frequently walked within a few feet of the survivors before they would take flight.
		Though the Willets are restless and noisy birds, they are much less so, and, indeed, quite unconscious of their surroundings when nesting.

	Willet Identification - Western or Eastern?
		The reason that the western Willets we identify on the East Coast are 'obviously' different-looking is that the ones we identify are not tiny western Willets, the nominate birds standing next to them are not uniformly enormous nominate birds, direct comparison of multiple characters is generally possible, and plumage cues are available for corroboration.
		The average difference between the two Willets is at least as great as that between Yellow and Myrtle Warblers, which many would agree is often discernible even on lone birds--despite the fact that these two actually have overlapping mensural ranges (believe it or not!).
		Given the ridiculously small samples of 3 W and 3 E Willets, this little exercise is hardly to be taken seriously, but shows what might be done with larger samples of photographs.
