I saw 2 LONG-BILLED CURLEWS from the parking area at Eagle Marsh at about 9
this morning, at ANWR in Marion County south of Salem. I later heard them in
flight, possibly leaving the area as I did not see them again. I walked out to
Teal Marsh and saw the following shorebirds:
Least Sandpiper 10
Western Sandpiper 30
Greater Yellowlegs 10
Lesser Yellowlegs 2
PECTORAL SANDPIPER 2
LONG-BILLED CURLEW 2
Long-billed Dowitcher 8
Killdeer 2
Others:
Black Phoebe 3
Peregrine Falcon 1
American Bittern 5-6 (I spoke with a photographer who also saw 5 in Willow (?)
Marsh. AMBIs are plentiful at Ankeny this year. I saw one dining on fresh
bullfrog)
Hooded Merganser 1
