Victor Emanuel, a naturalist and ecotourism guide, explains his feelings at witnessing one of the last Eskimo curlews 60 years ago, as "something from way time past." He tells of how he was reminded of the bird's eons-long history of breeding, feeding, and migrating, and its history in the human scale and world, contending with hunting and farming impacts.
