Whenever I see a lichen with wee lil mushroom-y, pin cups, I lose my shit. How can I be expected to handle myself in the presence of such extreme cuteness? AND THEN! This little shit comes at me with a thallus of bright neon colors??? Like an adorable little Lisa Frank illustration in real life? Nope, dead. I’m dead. And C. ferruginea is to blame.
I guess? I don’t know the vocalizations of those various bigger shorebirds well enough to be confident based on what I can hear in the video, and I’m not seeing enough detail to be sure. But if they were biggish, brownish shorebirds in the San Diego area, then yeah, Long-billed Curlew is a likely suspect.
Other possibilities would be Whimbrel or Marbled Godwit. But I think these sound more like the Long-billed Curlew vocalizations I was just listening to in my Sibley app than either of the other two species.
Thank you for the excuse to birdwatch. Always worthwhile! :-)
