Willet
Although both parents incubate the eggs, only the male spends the night on the nest.
Wallets breeding in the interior of the West differ from the Atlantic Coastal form in ecology, shape, and subtly in calls.
In winter, the Willets we see at Ft D are Western Willets from the Pacific coast area.
“Our” Eastern Willets go south to the Caribbean for the winter.
Because they are touch feeders and find prey using the sensitive tips of their bills, and not just eyesight, they can feed both during the day and at night.
