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...- jmorlan

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."- jmorlan

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...- jmorlan

Stilt Sandpipers?? Plum Island, MA
Hello, I made my first trip to Plum Island yesterday and captured this video which I'm hoping contains some Stilt Sandpipers. The main bird of interest is the one preening in the middle, but the four around it look the same (as well as the bird ten/eleven to its right). While I'm posting this...- TKbird

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...- jmorlan

Three in One!!
I first took this shot because it had Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs in the same frame and really showed the differences in size, bill, etc. But, the third bird in the photo (the middle one) turns out to be a Stilt Sandpiper which a few folks in our bird club had seen at this spot and is a...- gophish
