Remsen, J.V. 1975 Short-billed Dowitcher Limnodromus griseus Sep. 15 Furnace Creek Ranch, Death Valley NM, Inyo Co., Calif.: 1 on golf course pond. Call note heard distinctly after each flushing of the bird - a low "tew-tew" or "tew-tew-tew"; rump and uppertail coverts with broken bands and spots - no solid complete bars - this was seen several times at close range as the bird flew directly away from me. Bill also looked short.
