Introduction


This species is reported far more often in British Columbia than the few records presented here would suggest, with almost all reports being referable to Least Sandpipers. The single photographed individual from Ladner provides one of the very few documented occurrences of this Asian species outside of Alaska.

1.(1) adult; December 14, 1980; Blackie Spit, White Rock
2.(1) juvenile; September 1-4, 1982; Reifel Bird Sanctuary, Ladner
