Special guest contributor shots from occasional BirdingPI.com commenter “Paul + Remark.” Amazing Long-billed Curlew on Moonstone Beach in Cambria, California, from earlier this month. Not quite as exciting as Ring-billed Gull on Lake Erie :), but still very cool!

Great to see these amazing birds, even if not in person.
