Eskimo Curlew Colouring Page

Eskimo Curlew (Numenius borealis). Country of origin: Arctic Canada, migrating through the Americas to South America. Extinction: The last fully confirmed record was in 1963. It is widely considered probably extinct, but no precise extinction year is established. Cause: Heavy commercial hunting and loss of prairie and other migration habitats caused its collapse. Special characteristics: This small, slender curlew had a moderately downcurved bill, long legs and a patterned breast. How to Colour: Try buff and brown plumage with fine dark spots, a pale eyebrow and a dark curved bill. Add the breast spots with small strokes, preserving the pale stripe above the eye.
