Bristle-thighed Curlew on Clatsop Beach

This is a bit late to report, but given the rarity of the bird I'm posting pictures.

This bird was reported last Monday, 22 May. It was very wary and difficult to approach. Region scale weather conditions were similar to those during the large scale fallout of 1998, though the timing for this bird is late.
