Long-Billed Curlew
The Long-billed Curlew is an icon of the American prairie and inter-mountain grassland basins. It is a relatively large, conspicuous shorebird found in short to moderate height prairie. The Montana Bird Conservation Partnership (MBCP) has identified the Curlew as a flagship species, or one that is likely to resonate with the public and thus garner support for conservation action. It is declining across its range, but in Montana, healthy populations remain. We’re working with many partners to learn more about Curlews to protect the grasslands and agricultural lands they need for breeding.
