Subject: [Tweeters] Dowitchers at Redmond Retention Ponds - ID help?

This morning at about 10:00 I saw five dowitchers at the Redmond Retention
Ponds. I think they were Long-billed Dowitchers, but I'd appreciate any
opinions, ideas, or suggestions. I have posted some pictures at
http://www.barry15.com/2017_Birding_Reports/December.html .

For those who aren't familiar with them, the Redmond Retention Ponds are
northwest of the intersection of NE 95th St and 196th Ave NE in Redmond.
Access is from NE 95th St, just west of 196th.

There was also a Greater Yellowlegs there when I arrived, but it flew off
to the south before I left. When I left about 10:30, the dowitchers were
on the west edge of the main pond, near the south end.

Can anybody help me with the ID of these birds?

Thanks.
