- they can fly down to 5pm

- they have nearly 360 degrees of vision

a pair of wilson's phalaropes! somewhat rare in my area, so it was very lucky that I got to see them twice in 3 days (｡^ᴗ^ )

interestingly, the females are the bolder ones in these birds! such an elegant pair ( ˙꒳​˙ )

BOTD: Wilson's Snipe

Photo: Becky Matsubara

"Often overlooked in migration and winter, the snipe is a solitary creature of wet fields and bogs, seldom seen on open mudflats. Flushed from the marsh, it darts away in zigzag flight, uttering harsh notes. The Wilson's Snipe becomes more flamboyant in the breeding season, when it often yammers from atop a fencepost or dead tree. At night on the nesting grounds, the ghostly winnowing flight sound of the males often echoes across the marshes."

- Audubon Field Guide

What can I even say? Both are incredible little guys. Very beautiful, very powerful. May the best bird win! (Though really, all birds are best birds.)

American woodcocks live in the forests of eastern North America, excellently camouflaged against the brush. They have many colloquial names, including the timberdoodle, the bogsucker, the hokumpoke, and the Labrador twister. They are crepuscular and forage for earthworms and other invertebrates where soil is moist by probing the soil with their bills. They will also rock their bodies back and forth, which provokes underground worms into moving around and thus becoming easier to detect. Males display for females by performing a complex spiraling flight.

Little auks, or dovekies, live in the North Atlantic, breeding in the Arctic and wintering slightly further south. They forage underwater for crustaceans, primarily copepods, usually in the open ocean but closer to shore during nesting. They nest in large colonies on coastal cliffsides, laying a single egg in a rocky crevice.
