Solitary Sandpiper

Tringa solitaria

Description:

The dark back is covered in light spots, and the head is streaked gray. The head is dark enough that the white eye-ring is fairly distinct. The Solitary Sandpiper is shaped like the Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, but is smaller than both and has shorter, greenish legs.

Habitat:

Spotted at the edge of a wetland at the Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge.

Notes:

Long-distance migrants, Solitary Sandpipers breed in far northern areas of Canada and Alaska and winter in Central and South America.
