A Long-billed Curlew (Numenius americanus), seen at Fishing Pier, Goose Island State Park, Texas. Native across the United States and Canada, the population of this member of the Curlew family was significantly reduced at the end of the 19th century by hunting. Numbers have rebounded somewhat in more recent times. Photo credit: Alan D. Wilson |
