Long-Billed Curlew

Thanks to Will Brooks who found the LBCU and Bruce Labar who called me while he was seeing the bird, I was able to make a frantic dash to the newly plowed field just off Hwy 162 near 80th Ave. to see my first Pierce County Long-billed Curlew about 12:50 today, get photos, and dash back to Good Samaritan Hospital to park and get to work by 1:30 and precept for the East Pierce County Family Medicine Residency program for the afternoon. The power of eBird and a good cell phone network is amazing. Pierce County species # 243 is on record now. Check out my best photos on eBird.
