Title : A ShortBilled Dowitcher perches on a branch hanging above water near Kennedy Space
Caption :
(03/29/2002) - A Short-Billed Dowitcher perches on a branch hanging above water near Kennedy Space Center,. These sandpiper-like birds inhabit mud flats, creeks, salt marshes and tidal estuaries. With their long bills probing the water in rapid up-and-down motion, they seek marine worms, snails, tiny crustaceans and aquatic larvae. They range from southern Alaska to eastern Canada and winter from the southern United States to central South America.
