Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between tide height and the use of mudflats and pastures by long-billed curlews, with a focus on foraging behavior. Six mudflat sites and five pastures sites were used for data collection using scan sampling during peak high and low tides. Flock size and percent foraging were recorded during each scan, then used to determine use of each site type during high and low tides.
