I appreciate the time and effort that Mr. Alvaro Jaramillo has put into preparing this educational Shorebirds Workshop. I found this workshop to be informative and it has contributed to my California shorebirds identification skills.<br\/><br\/><span>Shorebirds can often be tricky for birders to identify. The type &#8230;<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<!--more-->\n\n  <div class=\"paragraph\"><span>of format Mr. Jaramillo used to differentiate each shorebird was very explanatory.\u00a0<\/span>I knew that the names of small sandpipers are called \u201cPeeps\u201d in North America. I was fascinated to learn that in Europe and Asia they are called \u201cStints.\u201d That was interesting to know. It is always helpful to learn different types of ID tips on Short-billed Dowitchers and Long-billed Dowitchers.<\/div> <div> <figure class=\"wp-block-gallery wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sfbbo-test.twomoons.systems\/staging\/1924\/wp-content\/uploads\/weebly-migration\/2-1.png?ssl=1\"\/><\/figure><figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sfbbo-test.twomoons.systems\/staging\/1924\/wp-content\/uploads\/weebly-migration\/1-2.png?ssl=1\"\/><\/figure><\/figure>\n<\/div> <div class=\"paragraph\">I was curious about the differences between Black-winged Stilts and partial leucistic Black-necked Stilts. I learned from Mr. Jaramillo that the way to tell the difference between a Black-winged Stilts and partial leucistic Black-necked Stilts was by their distinguished calls and by a single black feather on the head.<br\/><br\/>Besides Wilson\u2019s Phalaropes being one of my favorite shorebirds, I also enjoy listening to\u00a0 Wilson\u2019s Snipe\u2019s winnowing calls when it vibrates its tail against the wind.<br\/>\u200b<br\/>This workshop made me look forward to visiting California next spring to look for all these beautiful California birds; especially my bucket list bird the Tufted Puffin.<br\/><br\/>Thank you, SFBBO, SFBBO Donors, &amp; Alvaro Jaramillo!
