sandpiper

Just at this moment a bird flew over us, which Johansen, who is standing just outside the tent, took to be a kind of sandpiper.

Otherwise very similar to the Least Sandpiper, but with the breast and sides of neck ruddy in summer.

It was in the late afternoon of the 28th of April, 1883, that I first witnessed this singing performance of the sandpiper.

The stilt (Himantopus candidus) may be described as a sandpiper on red stilts.
