a short-billed curlew, Numenius phaeopus hudsonicus, that breeds in northern Canada.
- 1890  Hudsonian Curlew . . . is by no means rare in the "Barrens" to the west of the lower Anderson, where the Esquimaux discovered some thirteen well identified nests with eggs.
- 1952  . . . I was startled by a series of loud, wild "tit-tit-tit-tit-tit" notes from a big brown bird which leapt into the air a few feet in front. A Hudsonian curlew of course.
