moonvoiceAsiatic Dowitcher as Totem
The Asiatic Dowitcher, a medium-large wader bird, is often confused with the Bar-tailed Godwit. It feeds along muddy sites, coasts, or near shallow water, quickly prodding its large beak into the soil to look for its food in a distinctive 'sewing machine' motion. It has a yelping call, and while it breeds in Northern Asia, it is sighted throughout Southern Asia and North Australia.
