    Short-billed Dowitcher ?? February 29, 2004 Hawaii

    The bird in the foreground is slightly smaller than its companion. The bill is slightly shorter. The posture when feeding is not as football-ish. The loral angle is greater. The tail of this bird (on the left in the flight shot) is paler. Any thoughts will be appreciated. Thanks.

    Dowitchers - Hawaiian Islands - Winter

    Photos of 3 different Dowitchers. Iʻm having an awful time telling Short-billed from Long-billed Dowitchers. I didʻt hear any of them call. Any opinions will be appreciated. Thanks.

    Lesser or Greater Scaups. - Hawaiian Islands / January

    Two female Scaups. Lesser or Greater. Near the end of the footage the bird in front seems somewhat smaller. Could there be both species in the footage? I have real trouble separating the two species. Any thoughts? Thanks.

    Greater Scaup ? Hawaii - February 2004

    I apologize for the very bad images. Both are freeze frames from standard definition video taken many years ago. Is there enough resolution to ID the birds? The roundish heads seem about right for Greater Scaup. Thanks.
