Spotted
Once one of the most numerous shorebirds of North America, the Eskimo Curlew is now considered critically endangered, possibly extinct. It was known for its incredible long-distance migrations.
Where to spot
Historically found on Arctic tundra breeding grounds, and wintering in the grasslands of South America (e.g., Patagonia). Migration routes included eastern North America and the Atlantic.
How to spot
Due to its extreme rarity or probable extinction, practical observation is not possible. If by some remote chance encountered, it would resemble a small curlew with subtle buffy underparts and a short, decurved bill. Report any suspected sightings immediately.
When to spot
Extremely unlikely to be observed; any potential sighting would be extraordinary and requires immediate scientific verification. Historically, best observed during spring and autumn migration.

Eskimo Curlews undertook one of the longest migratory journeys of any shorebird, flying non-stop over the Atlantic Ocean from Canada to South America, feeding on 'curlew berries' along the way.
