Hi everyone,

I have responded to Mike offline with a summary of a couple of postings and
comments from Facebook regarding the identification of this bird. In
dropping the adjective 'presumed' I do so on the basis of expert opinion
discussed outside of birding-aus and I don't begin to claim to have the
level of expertise to make such an identification unilaterally. Indeed, my
original thought on the identification was that the bird was a Short-billed
Dowitcher (based on the fact that I have seen hundreds of both species, and
that I referred only to the Sibley field guide).

Hi Paul, why you have dropped the adjective 'presumed' from the subject line
in this posting when you persisted with it for so long previously?

Cheers,

Hi birders,

See the following article from the Northern Times in Kerang on the
Long-billed Dowitcher at Lake Tutchewop in Victoria:

-twitching/?cs=1276


It is great that the paper has picked up on this story as this area is
traditionally pro-duck hunting.
