Long-billed Curlew
This was the first Long-billed Curlew that I ever saw. Curlews use their long bill to capture shrimp and craps that are burrowed deep into tidal mudflats or to catch deeply buried earthworms in grasslands. This bird was very tame and often approached me closely as it wondered the beaches of Fort Desoto Park.
Laughing Gulls
When I noticed these Laughing Gulls sleeping along the edge of the beach, I thought they looked very artistic as their bodies faced each other while their heads faced in opposite directions.
