	Curlew - LoveToKnow 1911
		The long-billed curlew, or simply curlew of most British writers, the Numenius arquata of ornithologists, is one of the largest of the family Scolopacidae, or snipes and allied forms.
		It is common on the shores of the United Kingdom and most parts of Europe, seeking the heaths and moors of the interior and more northern countries in the breeding-season, where it lays its four brownish-green eggs, suffused with cinnamon markings, in an artless nest on the ground.
		So soon as the young are able to shift for themselves, both they and their parents resort to the sea-shore or mouths of rivers, from the muddy flats of which they at low tide obtain their living, and, though almost beyond any other birds wary of approach, form an object of pursuit to numerous gunners.

	Long-billed Curlew
		Long-billed Curlews are currently on the Blue List of species that may be at risk of declining to nonviable population levels in Alberta in the event of further reductions in population, habitat, and/or provincial distribution.
		Although the effect of habitat fragmentation on curlew habitat selection and breeding success are unknown, the species' current distribution in southwestern Saskatchewan and southeastern Alberta suggests that it prefers large tracts of habitat.
		Curlew breeding territories are frequently clumped in loose aggregations and it has been suggested that this aids in predator defense.

	Canadian Biodiversity: Eskimo Curlew
		In the breeding grounds, the Eskimo curlew nested primarily in open areas of tundra; the transition zone to spruce south of the tundra, described as lichen woodland, was another nesting habitat.
		A Eurasian curlew shot in England was discovered to be thirty-two years of age, as it was banded as a chick and still wore the band (Austin (1967) in Gollop, 1978).
		Habitat deterioration is considered as one cause of Eskimo curlew population decline, and human population increases in both the wintering grounds and the breeding grounds would have posed a threat for this reason.

		The curlews are a group of eight wader species, characterised by a long slender downcurved bill and mainly brown plumage with little seasonal change.
		The Upland Sandpiper is an odd bird which is closely related to the curlews, distinguished from them by its yellow legs, long tail and shorter, less curved bill.
		Note that the stone-curlews are not true curlews (family Scolopacidae) but members of the family Burhinidae, which is in the same order Charadriiformes, but only distantly related within it.

		The Slender-billed Curlew in Northumberland, 1998 - 'plate 164'
		What the image highlights is both the danger in assessing a record from a single image and the credit that must be given to Tim Cleeves for going public when it was such a rare and difficult bird.
		In addition, the fact that this image appeared at the front of Tim Cleeves's article about the finding of the bird was an editorial decision and did not form part of the assessment process.

	NPWRC :: Eskimo Curlew
		Peterson's standing Eskimo Curlew is partly hidden by a Whimbrel and his Eskimo underwing lining, i.e., excluding primaries and secondaries, is incorrectly shown as unbarred.
		(28 and 35.5 cm) for Eskimo Curlew and Whimbrel, respectively, from tip of bill to tip of tail for birds "hand-held in natural positions." As a general rule they state that individual birds may be 10% longer or shorter than this average.
		A "good" identification of an Eskimo Curlew is facilitated by familiarity or field comparison with Whimbrels (and other shorebirds) for length, bulk and bill, and by careful attention to the underwing - the lack of barring on the primaries and the cinnamon wing lining.
