I can still remember the excitement of photographing my first Long-billed Curlew. We were on an owl prowl on Antelope Island in Utah near Salt Lake City and were fortunate to be there during shorebird migration.
The Long-billed Curlew is a large, long-legged shorebird with a very long, curved bill that it uses to forage for earthworms, shrimp, and crabs in soft mud.
They breed in areas with sparse, short grasses, including grass prairies and agricultural fields. All About Birds.
