Walking Whimbrel

The most widespread of the curlews, nesting in the Arctic across North America and Eurasia, wintering on the coasts of six continents. Whimbrels tend to concentrate in flocks at a few favored spots in migration, so that the observer sees either many of them or else very small numbers. The name “Whimbrel,” originating in England, apparently began as a loose interpretation of the bird’s call. This whimbrel, photographed at Pismo Beach, enjoyed a sunny day feeding on ocean tidbits.

Latin: Numenius phaeopus
