    If only all birds were this easy to photograph. I suppose it would be less fun.

    This willet has caught a sand crab. Apparently they grind them in their gizzard and regurgitate the shells.

    The white wing bars of the willet give it away. I like that the shorebirds of two feathers flock together.

    WILLs

    Grey and dull-looking when resting or foraging, the WILLs become quite stunning when they spread those black-and-white wings.

    The hundreds and thousands

    A quick view of that remnant of tidal marsh at Bayfront Park, Millbrae. Here it's partially hidden under a rising tide. Most visible of the "hundreds and thousands" are American Avocets standing in the shallows and (mostly, I think) Willets waiting out the tide along the shore. There were...

    A wetlands remnant

    An informative sign told that the whole 2-mile stretch I'd just walked plus the next several miles of airport and industrial area had once been a vast tidal marsh, now mostly drained and "developed". But one patch does remain right where the trail is interrupted at the south end of the airport...

    Willet

    This common shorebird looks uniformly drab gray in non-breeding plumage but for a short time in Spring we see them in this heavily mottled and barred breeding plumage. If you look carefully, you can see a few retained worn, plain gray winter feathers. The Willet is a strictly North American...

    Willet

    This common shorebird looks uniformly drab gray in non-breeding plumage until it spreads its wings offering a very different appearance. The Willet is a strictly North American breeding bird with two populations. This is the larger "Western Willet" (T. s. inornata) which breeds inland in the...

    My first Eastern ssp. Willet? Plum Island, MA, USA

    Hello, I've never tried to learn Willet subspecies, but finally decided now is the time. This is my first attempt. Is this an Eastern Willet? Thank you!
  23. Willet

    Willet

    The Willet is divided into two distinct populations. I believe this is the smaller, thicker-billed nominate race, "T. s. semipalmata" which breeds in coastal areas of the Eastern United States from Newfoundland to Mexico. The larger western race, "T. s. inornata," breeds in the Plains and Great...
