    Stilt Sandpiper

    Posing nicely along the Laguna Madre Trail, this is an adult in breeding plumage. Note the chestnut ear coverts. Sexes are similar but this one has only a hint of rufous in the crown and less distinct ventral barring suggesting a female. A long-distance migrant wintering mostly in South America...

    Stilt Sandpiper

    Molting into first alternate plumage, Stilt Sandpipers like to forage belly up in shallow water as seen here. They are sometimes placed in the monotypic genus "Micropalama." In structure they appear intermediate between typical "Calidris" and "Tringa."

    Credit goes to Mike Ambrose for finding this bird and getting word out promptly. This was probably the most cooperative Stilt Sandpiper I have ever encountered. This species is a rare migrant on the West Coast from breeding grounds in arctic Alaska and Canada to wintering grounds in South...

    Stilt Sandpiper

    The curved bill helps identify this species. This individual appears to be molting into breeding plumage. I suspect it is an immature bird (first alternate plumage) with fresh solid gray basic-like scapulars overlying more typical black centered breeding feathers. The barring on the...
