Hudsonian Curlew
The Hudsonian Curlew is a large shorebird known for its long, curved bill and distinctive plumage. It typically inhabits coastal areas and wetlands, where it feeds on invertebrates and small fish. This bird is migratory, traveling long distances between its breeding grounds in the Arctic and wintering areas in South America.
Once abundant, the Hudsonian Curlew has faced significant population declines due to habitat loss and hunting. Conservation efforts are underway to protect its remaining habitats and promote awareness about the importance of preserving this species. The curlew is part of the larger family of shorebirds, which includes various other wading birds.
