[Birdnet] Whimbrel at AIC

[Ben Palmer]

I ran out to Antelope Island today so my boys could work on their
Junior Ranger badges. I wasn't expecting to see much, as it was
midday. I even left my scope and camera at home. I was very surprised
to see a couple Whimbrels on the North side of the causeway, near mile
post 3. The birds were right on the waters edge, so it made for great
viewing. I also saw a Long-billed Curlew near there. On my way back,
about 2:30, I saw a Whimbrel and Long-billed Curlew together on the
South side of the road, near mile post 2. It was great to see the two
birds side-by-side, the curlew looked huge next to the Whimbrel, and
it was fun to be able to compare their field-marks.
