Scale represents average number of individuals detected per route per year.
Map from Price, J., S. Droege, and A. Price, The Summer Atlas of North American Birds, Academic Press, 1995. Keys to management are providing suitable habitat and tailoring grazing regimes to local conditions. In Wyoming, fields with nests had less grass cover, greater forb cover, and were drier than fields with no nests. A table near the end of the account lists the specific habitat characteristics for Long-billed Curlews by study. Censusing methods should account for detectability differences for males and females throughout the breeding season.
