I enjoyed your recent article on the curlews (Pique, Aug. 9, “Queen of the grasslands”). I would like to point out to your readers, there is no need to travel to New Mexico to see this fine bird. Long-billed curlews are regular breeders in the hay fields around Lillooet and the North Thompson river valley.
In 2013 I took a picture of a migrating bird in Pemberton Meadows (see it above).
