After a nice spring shower the grass seemed to spring up just a bit greener and these wet field provided the perfect place for some Long-Billed Curlews to spend the afternoon foraging.
Curlews are a bird we seem to never tire of observing. Probing the grass with that enormous bill.
Amazing birds.
Fascinating adaptation in that bill – I imagine they are cool to watch.

Indeed a marvel of a bill. It’s nice to have them fly through on their way north each spring.
