Also known as Eskimo curlew, it is a medium-sized wading bird belonging to the curlew family of plovers. It has been widely distributed in North America, migrating to the Arctic in summer and to the Pembas steppe of Argentina in South America in winter. It feeds on insects such as grasshoppers and grasshopper eggs. The appearance is similar to other curlew, but the lower body has no markings and is smaller. In the migration will form a large group, with significant migration habits. Hunted on a large scale at the end of the 19th century, the wild extreme northern curlew is considered extinct since the 20th century. Over the past decade, there are still small feeder populations living in Canada and the United States that are classified as endangered.
