Long-billed Curlew
(Numenius americanus)

Besides being the largest shorebirds in North America, Long-billed Curlews also hold the unfortunate distinction of being one of the most threatened shorebird species on the continent. These birds breed on the dry, native grasslands of the West, where they use their long, curved bills to feed on grasshoppers and other insects. Long-billed Curlews' small population size and negative population trends, combined with threats of habitat degradation on both their breeding and wintering grounds, make this species a very high conservation priority.

I happened to be lucky enough to see one of these recently. Your capture, however, is so much better than mine. Great shot! ^^

Love these guys. Great shot! I really like how it's walking and not just standing there.
