Long-billed Curlew in Baca County

[SeEtta Moss]

I birded in far southeastern Colorado today and found a male Long-billed Curlew in Baca County adjacent to CR 6.  While I watched him from inside my car about a hundred feet away from the bird it repeatedly gave the distinctive curlew call.  I couldn't see any other curlews in the area so wonder if he had begun migration and became separated from his group.  I have uploaded photos to my Birds and Nature blog.

BTW, if you didn't see the CBS program that featured the Rufous-necked Wood-Rail with video, photos of the bird and an interview with Jeff Gordon, ABA President, I have the video on my blog--just scroll down to it.
