Dowitcher... Another California Shorebird

I thought he might be a Long Billed Curlew but his bill isn’t that long and it doesn’t curve... then I saw him on google! Dowitcher! I think he was curious about the click of the camera. I think that may have been another Ruddy Turnstone off in the distance.

Beautiful capture, I had to giggle at the turnstone, my great uncle used to say ruddy as a mild swear word and I thought you was cross with it :))
