The species is native to central and western North America. In the winter, the species migrates southwards, as well as towards the coastline. ==Description== The long-billed curlew is the largest nesting or regularly occurring sandpiper in North America.

The neck and underparts are a light cinnamon, while the crown is streaked with brown. This species exhibits sexual dimorphism, the female having a much longer bill than the male.
