Подробности наблюдения

*****MEGA. Originally found around 7:00 PM by Sam Darmstadt and Nathan Dubrow with USFWS on Salt Lagoon, it quickly took flight and headed northeast over Diamond Hill and was lost. Following dinner, our group headed out towards Northwest Point hoping to maybe run into it, and to our shock, we actually did. Nathan first spotted it while David was driving along the shoreline of Big Lake, and simply shouted "CURLEW CURLEW CURLEW" as this bird emerged from the thick fog. David quickly stopped the van, and the group got great looks as this beastly curlew with a very long bill flew alongside us, offering great views out of the fog bank, and then disappearing back into it. A massive curlew with a hulking, long, decurved bill, barred/patterned underwings, and uniformed streaked brown back and tail with no evidence of white at all. Lower mandible had a pink/orange coloration, seen best in pictures. Many photos taken. First record for the island since May 31, 2007.
