Stilt Sandpipers

Stilt Sandpipers
I had never even heard of the Stilt Sandpiper before yesterday! These birds are uncommon in Alberta in May and from July to September. They do not nest in Alberta. Apparently, this bird is often overlooked by birdwatchers. During breeding season, they have a chestnut red ear patch. They have a similar silhouette to a Yellowlegs.
