Calidris minutilla, Least Sandpiper
Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge, Washington - August 18, 2017
I have photographed many Least Sandpipers in my life,
including several videos - see the listing on the
Video of Individual Bird Species page.
The Least Sandpiper is a bird of the Americas, breeding in the Arctic
north and spending the non-breeding season as far south as the
northern part of South America. It is the smallest shorebird.
