Wandering Tattler in Hilo Hawaii

Wandering Tattler

I asked AI to help identify three photos of the same bird, and really loved it’s answer from the third shot: Here’s why this image is particularly helpful:

  • Bill shape: This photo clearly shows the slightly decurved bill, a key feature for distinguishing it from the Gray-tailed Tattler, which has a straighter bill.
  • Eye stripe: You can see a faint white eyebrow and a dark eye line, typical of a Wandering Tattler.
  • Leg color: While subtle, the legs appear to have a yellowish hue, further supporting the ID.

The combination of these features in all your photos, along with the bird’s behavior and location, makes me confident that this is indeed a Wandering Tattler.
