Tracking Data for Long-billed Curlews (Numenius americanus)

Metadata Updated: November 13, 2025

This data release includes 2 child items with tracking data for Long-billed Curlews, a shorebird species that nests in deserts and grasslands of central and western North America and spends the nonbreeding season in agriculture fields and pastures or along coastlines in California, Texas, and Mexico. Child Item 1: "Argos Satellite Tracking Data for Long-billed Curlews (Numenius americanus) - Processed Data" -- Quality-controlled data collected from Argos satellite transmitters. Child Item 2: "Argos Satellite Tracking Data for Long-billed Curlews (Numenius americanus) - Raw Data" -- All raw data collected from Argos satellite transmitters, provided for completeness of the archive. The quality-controlled, "Argos Processed Data" (Child Item 1) are better suited for most analytical purposes.
