[Birdtalk] Long-billed Curlew and Peregrine Falcon - Cache Valley

[Buck Russell]

This morning Brandon Spencer and I went out birding.  The best bird of the day was a Peregrine Falcon at the Clay Slough Recreation area (just north of Benson).  We also saw and heard seven Long-billed Curlews.  They were in the field west of the Benson Marina.   They were singing really loud.  Several were on the ground and the others were flying above the field.  I was not familiar with their song.  It was fun to watch the Sandhill Cranes hopping around, spreading their wings, and throwing stuff up in the air while doing their courtship dance.  I spite of the rain, it was a great day.
Thanks.
Buck Russell
