\"Long-billedLong-billed Curlew strolling on Antelope Island<\/span><\/p>\n

This is just a simple Long-billed Curlew post with images I took not long before I discovered the Mountain Plovers<\/a> on April 10th on Antelope Island State Park. The Mountain Plovers were great but so are the Long-billed Curlews.<\/p>\n

\"AlertAlert Long-billed Curlew<\/span><\/p>\n

I think that Long-billed Curlews are elegant and graceful shorebirds and their colors are earthy but vibrant plus they are a lot of fun to observe and photograph.<\/p>\n

\"Long-billedLong-billed Curlew about to lift off<\/span><\/p>\n

This Long-billed Curlew was about to lift off when I photographed it so I like the pose and how dynamic it feels.<\/p>\n

More Long-billed Curlews have arrived here and just two days ago I heard my first of year Willets calling on the island so soon I will be photographing them again.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
