The Curlew
It's always fun to watch these active shorebirds. Yesterday, while we were walking at Morro Bay, part of the beach area was closed to dogs and there were quite a few seagulls resting in the sand. Behind them, barely visible, were the Curlews. I wasn't sure why the beach was closed off but I thought it had to do with nesting, and I believe that's the case.

Morro Bay is a bird sanctuary and I read that it's one of the ten best places in the US to birdwatch. They have a bird festival in the Winter for all bird watchers to enjoy.

I'm so glad they are keeping these Curlews protected because they are delightful to watch. After all, what's a beach without the shorebirds?
