Good morning, Todd~
Good for you! A wonderful bird to be sure. No Long-billed Curlews here along the Atlantic Tidewater, but I have thoroughly enjoyed the few have seen over the years - from Saskatchewan and points west.
I have a Whimbrel - its little cousin - in the shop waiting for paint for a long time now. Maybe you'll inspire me to get the brushes out.
All the best,
SJS
