💙 A Long Billed Curlew strolling the shoreline📍Drakes Beach, Point Reyes National Seashore 📷 Sony a7 + Sony 200-600 💙 Last month I was photographing some elephant seals, and being that I am eternally enamored with birds (especially shorebirds) I became distracted by this cutie, turned around and snapped a couple quick ones, and ended up with the this. 💙 Sometimes it can be hard to distinguish LBC’s from Whimbrels but I think I got this one right. This is a good time to put it out there that I’m welcome to corrections on bird IDs, as I’m still very much an amateur of birding as well as photography... Always open to learning, which is all part of the fun! . . . . . #longbilledcurlew #coastalbirds #curlew #audubonca #drakesbeach #prns #pointreyesnationalseashore #pointreyes #pointreyesnps #pointreyesnationalpark #birdsofcalifornia #marincounty #marinstagram #westmarin #californiawildlife #birdingphotography #audubonsociety #sonya7 #sony200600 #gonewiththewild #whimbrel #shorebird #shorebirds #birdstagram #birdingcalifornia #wildlifephotography #birdoftheday #californiabirding #birdlovers #shorebirdsofinstagram
