I would not say they're dangerous. Preconceptions are based on experience. -Now we are just waiting for the yankees to wake up & tell what this wader is :bounce:Bluetail said:Darn - I never even thought of Stilt Sand. Just shows how dangerous preconceptions can be.

There's a lot of variation in the bill length of dowitchers, but I agree that it looks VERY (too?) short on the front bird. You are right about the bill color, looks black and not greenish. i checked some more photographs on Stilt sandpiper, and the downcurve of the bill isn't always that distinct ,depending on the angle the bird was photographed, and someone did note that the bill is slightly open.
