Another call from Len Medlock means another rarity – and this one is a real rarity – Curlew Sandpiper in NH! Once again I dropped everything and drove to Plaice Cove to try for the bird. When I arrived a veritable Who’s Who of NH birding was present – at least 15 birders staring at the bird feeding in the rack line among Sanderlings, white-rumps and others. Amazingly excellent views!
A couple phone-scoped photos are below – one showing the bill profile while preening its chest, and the other showing the body in profile with a White-rumped. My statebird map is at the bottom. NH is now my 5th state for Curlew Sandpiper.
