Interest in molt is currently at an all-time high. On Thursday, July 28, we
observed an adult Short-billed Dowitcher of the subspecies hendersoni in
the early stages of definitive prebasic body molt. We previously have not
seen obvious body molt in southbound adult Short-billed Dowitchers in
southern Ontario. It was not in wing molt. Jean photographed it at Rock
Point Provincial Park on Lake Erie west of Fort Erie ON and Buffalo NY.

We've posted to both ID-Frontiers and Shorebirds because of overlapping
interest.
