Observation details
I thought these birds were Eurasian Curlews and reported them as such. When I was finally able to download my camera files and added the picture, I received an ebird error saying the photo was actually of Hudsonian/Eurasian Whimbrels. Therefore I am changing the species. However, I just used Merlin and it identified the bird as the Eurasian Curlew as I had done. Confusing and I welcome help.
