I showed you mine, now you show me yours The whimbrel is a wader in the large family Scolopacidae. It is one of the most widespread of the curlews, breeding across much of subarctic North America, Asia and Europe as far south as Scotland Last edited by skeettx; 05/29/19 08:17 PM.

Because the curlew's bill is longer than the whimbrel's. In picture comparisons the bird in the engraving much more closely resembles the curlew. SRH May God bless America and those who defend her.
