Long-billed Curlew, Numenius americanus
The Long-billed Curlew, Numenius americanus, is a spectacular member of the shorebird family with its long curved bill. Since the female’s bill is longer than the males, the species is said to be sexually dimorphic. Its population was reduced by hunters in the past, but it seams to be now in a stable position.
