Status of Curlew Sandpiper Calidris ferruginea in Canada and the United States of America, excepting Alaska

In the first half of the 20th century, most North American Curlew Sandpiper records came from Long Island, New York, with subsequent records from a number of sites. On the East Coast, there is a July peak in Curlew Sandpiper reports, and then reports tail off until October. Duting a smaller peak in May, in the Cape Hatteras area, North Carolina, multiple individuals are seen annually during northward migration. Most interior records come from the Great Lakes region, most frequently Ontario and Michigan. Curlew Sandpipers have been recorded all along the West Coast from British Columbia to southern California. Unlike most of the rest of North America, West Coast records are mainly on southwards passage; the peak is in September and most birds are likely to be juveniles.
