The female curlew was most accommodating in posing for a number of still pics and video. She did appear to be trying to figure out what was making the click that my dslr makes when I snap a photo and would turn her head sideways as shown in the middle pic--maybe trying to triangulate the sound?
While the female foraged, she stayed within about a hundred feet of the older chick over which she was watching just as the male did with the chick he was watching. She called occasionally, presumably to maintain contact with the chick and maybe with her mate too. SeEtta
More very good pics of the female Long-billed Curlew
