| | There have been no confirmed sightings of the Eskimo Curlew since 1962 at Galveston Island, Texas. | | | In the 1870s and 1880s, an estimated two million Eskimo Curlews were killed every year during their annual migration. | | | COSEWIC designated the Eskimo Curlew as Endangered in Canada in 1978 because of their low population. |

| | The Eskimo curlew was original found in the arctic tundra of North America during the warm months of the breeding season and in the grasslands of South America in the winter. | | | From 1870-1890, the Eskimo Curlew was hunted for food. | | | The population rapidly declined; for example it has been recorded that 7,000 curlews were shot in one day on Nantucket Island in 1863. |

| | Before its demise in the late 19th century, the Eskimo Curlew nested in the High Arctic (red areas on map) and wintered in the southern extremes of South America (purple areas on map). | | | During its migration northward in April and May, the Eskimo Curlew depended almost exclusively on the abundant insect foods of native tallgrass and mixed grass prairies. | | | Despite its vast numbers, the Eskimo Curlew population was devastated over just a 20-year period, and was rarely seen after 1890. |
