Mindy Smith 33 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Saw a flock of shorebirds as Pismo beach in Central coastal California yesterday looking directly into the sun so few details and then the flock took off. I have been seeing curlews so assumed they were but the bill looks short. Thoughts? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin 4,467 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 The one that it's bill can be seen, is a Whimbrel for sure, I don't know about the rest for sure. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
