3 Long-billed Curlews on Banford Road!!

Great find, watchmen! I went out there as soon as you shared the news, but 30 minutes of searching before dark yielded nothing.

Thanks for sharing,

Dave

Good Eyes Watchmen!!!
Was able to stop on the way to abbotsford this afternoon and spotted all 3 at 12:30pm. Two years in a row for "Curlew Farms".

That's a fantastic sighting. I am glad other people are seeing them. I believe that is the most seen in our checklist in one area. I might check tomorrow.

Thanks for letting us know watchmen! I must've just missed you--I observed them for a few minutes around 6:10. What a beauty of a bird!

Some photos, tight crop. They were a ways out but were moving around all the time. Amazing birds with those bills!! Glad to hear a few people were able to see them. Clear night tonight might mean they'll be on their way.











Also lots of Savannah Sparrows defining their territory with their buzzy song.

I just came back from Banford road and I did see one Curlew. He is quite far out there but one could see it with binoculars but a scope would be better. I first saw it with my binoculars. I scanned the field with a scope but I didn't see anything else. It was flying and where he landed there is a small hill so they could have been down there.

Great pictures Gord. The beaks on them are incredible.
