Description
Photographic art by Dawn Currie. Wildlife photo of a Willet foraging along the beach at Sebastian Inlet State Park, FL. I photographed this Willet while participating in the 2020 Southern Brevard County Christmas Bird Count (Audubon).
Piercing calls and distinctive wing markings make the otherwise subdued Willet (Tringa semipalmata) one of our most conspicuous large shorebirds. Whether in mottled brown breeding plumage or gray winter colors, Willets in flight reveal a bold white and black stripe running the length of each wing. These long-legged, straight-billed shorebirds feed along beaches, mudflats, and rocky shores. Because they find prey using the sensitive tips of their bills, and not just eyesight, Willets can feed both during the day and at night.
