Cryptic brown-and-buff streaking. Probes soft mud for invertebrates. Sedentary. Performs display 'drumming' flights with spread tail in breeding season.
Long-billed Dowitcher

Breeds on wet Arctic tundra of Alaska, Yukon, and northeastern Siberia; winters on freshwater and coastal marshes from the southern US to Guatemala. Feeds by rapid sewing-machine probing. Largely freshwater in winter.
