Project Name and Location:
Long-billed Curlew (Numenius americanus) Management in Two Wintering Habitats in the Chihuahuan Desert, Mexico --
Mexico.

Goals

- Conduct winter censuses in two grassland areas to determine the size of long-billed curlew populations.
- Capture individuals for analysis via molecular markers, determination of the subspecies that overwinter in both regions, and the sex of the individuals.
- Determine winter habitat use (mapping critical elements such as night roost sites, watering places, and foraging areas) and local and migratory movements of the species using satellite tracking technology.
- Study the species' winter diet by analyzing regurgitated pellets.
- Capture and band individuals using standard international protocols to evaluate winter site fidelity.
- Set up ponds in both sites as sources of water for the long-billed curlew and establish ranching plans that will help restore the grasslands.
