7 Western Willets and 21 dowitchers are currently present at Hillman Marsh. The dowitchers are quite distant, however most appear to be Long-billed Dowitchers. I can't say for certain that I see any Short-billed Dowitchers but they are quite distant, some hidden behind others, etc. These birds have apparently been present for much of the afternoon.
