	Curlew Sandpiper (Calidris ferruginea)
		In summer plumage the Curlew Sandpiper is strikingly red, like a small long-billed Knot, and many of the birds seen in Britain in spring or autumn show traces of this.
		However, the majority of Curlew Sandpipers seen here are juveniles in autumn which are most similar to Dunlin but are taller, longer-legged, longer-tailed and longer-billed.
		For the purposes of our bird news services, Curlew Sandpiper is classed as Local: generally fairly regular or common species that a 'county lister' or a birding beginner might be interested in going to see.

	Re: Curlew Sandpiper(s) at the beach
		However, I have never seen a Dunlin with the kinked appearance that the bird I saw had (see the bills that the Curlews labeled 205a and b have on p206.) It was like those bills.
		The bird was seen for about a minute or two at about 15 yards as it fed on the wet mud at the edge of some water.
		I was looking through the scope at the bird when it and a few western sandpiper spooked and I did not get on the bird but Bob did and he noted the white rump.

		The correct answer to the August Photo Quiz is Stilt Sandpiper, identified as a juvenile by the crisp whitish edges to the feathers of the upperparts.

		Had I known that we would be looking for Curlew Sandpiper on a shoreline of beach sand and shells piled up a few hundred yards from the open ocean, I wouldn't have made the trip.
		I could see maybe a storm-blown refugee or super-tired migrant briefly falling onto a sandbar beside the beach, but the concept of repeated visits by one/two Curlew Sandpiper(s) to the area at the base of the Huntington Beach Jetty seems fantastic.

	Curlew Sandpiper - Definition, explanation

	Shorebird Identification
		The long, gently curved fl bill and long fl-legs give the immediate impression of a Curlew Sandpiper, however, some who have examined the photo are puzzled by the amount of mottling on the breast and the pale supercilium seems less prononuced than on many Curlew Sandpipers.
		We've had a couple of first-summer Curlew Sands this year, and they certainly didn't look like this bird...It has the facial 'character' of Dunlin, and the forepart streaking is surely not correct for Curlew Sandpiper.
		I base this conclusion on a comparison of the mystery bird with my photo collection, which includes Curlew Sandpiper in basic/non-breeding plumage in Australia in April (where Dunlins are virtually unknown), and of Dunlins, particularly hudsonica (the likely confusion race), also in basic/non-breeding plumage, in Texas in April.

	NPWRC :: Eskimo Curlew
		Aside from "Eskimo Curlew" and its various spellings, Dough Bird (and its various spellings) was probably the most common English name.
		The latter presumably arose among hunters because of the nature of the thick fat layer that the bird developed on migration.
		For a time in the 1800s some of North America's prominent ornithologists erroneously applied the name "Esquimaux Curlew" to the Whimbrel (Wilson and Bonaparte [1878]:2:322; Nuttall 1834:97).

	Eskimo Curlew
		At least two sources consider these two species of curlews to be conspecific, but most others recognize each as monotypic.
		The Eskimo Curlew could easily be mistaken for a couple of other birds, the upland sandpiper or the whimbrel.
		The Eskimo curlew, at 12-14 inches, is a little bigger than the upland sandpiper with a flatter head and a down-curved bill.

	The Curlew Sandpiper
		In the course of my extensive rambles along our coasts and in the interior, I have seen only three birds of this species, all of which I have kept with care, considering the Cape Sandpiper or Pigmy Curlew as the rarest of its genus with us.
		It appears to resort to particular districts; two of my birds were shot at Great Egg Harbour in New Jersey, in the spring of 1829, the other on Long Island near Sandy Hook.
