An Eskimo Curlew specimen at the Smithsonian Institution, Division of Birds in Washington, D.C. (4/13/2013). Eskimo Curlew was a fall visitor to Maryland en route to its wintering grounds in South America, but its population was decimated by market hunters, habitat loss on its wintering grounds, and the extinction of a primary spring food source - all caused by human short-sightedness. It is now almost certainly extinct, but some optimists maintain hope.
