Bristle-thighed Curlew

Numenius tahitiensis

Least Concern

The Bristle-thighed Curlew is a shorebird of central Pacific islands and surrounding coasts. It uses its bill, legs, and alert flight to feed on invertebrates, seeds, or small aquatic prey along coasts, mudflats, rivers, lakes, grasslands, or open ground; many shorebirds make impressive seasonal movements between breeding and non-breeding areas.
