Limnodromus scolopaceus is a species of migratory shorebird commonly known as the long-billed dowitcher. Some other synonyms used to refer to this bird include Limnodromus griseus scolopaceus, Macrorhamphus scolopaceus, and Limnodromus longirostris. The long-billed dowitcher is a medium-sized bird with a distinctive long, straight bill that it uses to probe in mud or sand for small invertebrates. It has a brownish-gray feathered body and long legs that are bright pink in breeding adults. Found throughout North and Central America, the long-billed dowitcher is an important indicator species for the health of wetland habitats, as its populations have declined due to loss of habitat and degradation of water quality.
