Long-billed Curlew, Numenius americanus; Bolivar Peninsula, Texas

     Another Long-billed Curlew shot on the Bolivar Peninsula.  This is a second year, or older bird.  Notice the length of bill compared to the bird in my previous post on October, 27th.  Younger Long-billed Curlew have shorter bills than the older, mature birds.
