  • Bristle-thighed Curlews 2013.5.23. This was the view I had hiking up the eastern shore of Cook Inlet to where I would have one of the greatest days of shooting shore birds in all my years in Alaska. I got over four hours of shooting the rare bristle-thighed Curlews with a bonus uncommon Marbled Godwit, Whimbrels, two species of Plovers, Short-billed Dowitchers, Turnstones, Dunlins, Red-necked Phalaropes, Yellowlegs, Sandhill Cranes and five species of Sandpipers. And didn't have another photographer show up the whole time I was there. And to top it off I got to talk with my granddaughter in Pennsylvania on her birthday while I was surrounded by all the birds. The next nine images are a few highlites from this day.
