The Curlew Sandpiper has a large range, estimated globally at 100,000 to 1,000,000 square kilometers. It is native to the nations of Europe, Asia, North America, Africa, and Australia and prefers grassland, wetland, and marine ecosystems, though it has been known to reside near water storage areas and irrigated land. The global population of this bird is estimated to be 1,400,000 individuals and it does not appear to meet population decline criteria that would necessitate inclusion on the IUCN Red List. More

matter is of taxonomic relevance since, as the Curlew Sandpiper is the type species, a close relationship with the small "stint" sandpipers would preclude the use of Erolia for the present species.

The Curlew Sandpiper, Erolia or Calidris ferruginea, is a small wader. It is a fairly unusual species that may be close to the Stilt Sandpiper. DNA sequence data, however, is insufficient to resolve its relationships (Thomas et al., 2004). This matter is of taxonomic relevance, as the Curlew Sandpiper is the original type species of the proposed genus Erolia, and thus a more distant relationship with the small "stint" sandpipers would preclude the use of Erolia for the latter group.

The Curlew Sandpiper is a small shorebird that nests on the tundra of Arctic Siberia. It is strongly migratory, wintering mainly in Africa, but also in south and southeast Asia and in Australasia. Every now and again one will get blown off course and end up somewhere in North America – usually on the Atlantic seaboard. And even less frequently, one will turn up along the Texas coast. More

Curlew Sandpipers are the only medium-to-small wader in our region with a distinctive down-curved bill. The bill is rather long compared to their body size. They are commonly seen during the migrating season, often in large flocks of hundreds. Curlew Sandpipers eat mainly worms, supplemented with bivales, gastropods, crustacea and sometimes seeds. When breeding, they eat mainly insects, especially flies and beetles. Curlew Sandpipers forage on wet, soft mud by pecking and probing in an incessant "stitching" motion. More
