Sharp-tailed Sandpiper

More recently, a review of new data has indicated that this bird should perhaps better be placed into the genus Philomachus - as P. acuminatus - which now contains only the ruff but if the Sharp-tailed Sandpiper is merged into it would need to accommodate the Broad-billed Sandpiper also .

The Sharp-tailed Sandpiper is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

Sharp-tailed Sandpipers (Calidris acuminata), a medium-sized migratory shorebird that breeds in Arctic tundra of eastern Siberia. During the northern winter, they migrate to Australia and New Zealand, where they inhabit freshwater and brackish wetlands though most of the continent. I sat on the bank of the wetland in the afternoon and after a while these guys came close enough to a few shots. More

The Sharp-tailed Sandpiper has a large range, estimated globally at 50,000 to 100,000 square kilometers. Native to Australia, Asia, and North America and vagrant to Europe, this bird prefers grassland, wetland, and marine ecosystems. The global population of this bird is estimated at 160,000 individuals and does not show signs of decline that would necessitate inclusion on the IUCN Red List. For this reason, the current evaluation status of the Sharp-tailed Sandpiper is Least Concern. More

I enjoyed watching a Sharp-tailed Sandpiper at Fernhill Wetlands this afternoon. While most Sharp-tailed Sandpipers migrate from Siberia to Australia via the coast of Asia, a few young birds work their way down the west coast of North America before crossing the Pacific. The pattern on this species is quite stunning, at least by shorebird standards. 1 Comment » - RSS feed for comments on this post. TrackBack URI 1. More

Sharp-tailed Sandpiper is much more similar to other Calidris/Erolia species such as the Pectoral Sandpiper. On the one hand, its larger size and long-legged stance, and the breast pattern which gradually fades away on the belly as in the Ruff instead of having a fairly sharp border as in the Calidris/Erolia stints indicate that placement in Philomachus may be correct.

juvenile Sharp-tailed Sandpiper was seen by many as it foraged with Pectoral Sandpipers. Distinguishing it from the Pectoral Sandpipers was the deeper rusty cap, the buffy chest with striping restricted to the upper breast, and the scattered striping on some of the undertail coverts. The bird had a prominent white supercilium, but it was matched by a couple of the Pectorals present. Contrary to what the books said, it did not broaden behind the eye. More

rare Sharp-tailed Sandpiper can be distinguished by its rufous cap and distinctive white eye-line. Adults in breeding plumage are heavily spotted overall. Non-breeding plumage is lighter gray and less boldly streaked. Juveniles, the form most often seen in Washington, are redder than adults, with a buff-colored, lightly streaked breast, which often serves as their most distinctive field mark. back to top Habitat - Sharp-tailed Sandpipers breed in wet Siberian tundra.

The Sharp-tailed Sandpiper, Calidris acuminata (but see below) is a small wader. It breeds in the boggy tundra of northeast Asia and is strongly migratory, wintering in south east Asia and Australasia. It occurs as a rare autumn migrant to North America, but in western Europe only as a very rare vagrant. More recently, a review of new data has indicated that this bird should perhaps better be placed into the genus Philomachus - as P. More

The Sharp-tailed Sandpiper is a common migrant to suitable habitat in the Melbourne area from August to April. The Pectoral Sandpiper is a rarer migrant, found in similar habitat to the Sharp-tailed Sandpiper, though not as fond of sea coasts or bay shores. The Pectoral Sandpiper is most often seen from late November to April, although some occasionally arrive in September. More

what, there MAY have been a Sharp-tailed Sandpiper at the railroad pond in Sandusky County yesterday. The bird in question stuck out like a sore thumb. It practically screamed "orange" (okay, bright rufous). And the coloration was pretty much over the whole bird, except the belly. Size, shape, bill length, feather pattern all resembled a Pectoral Sandpiper. Our first thought (me and Brad) was it must be a juvenile Pectoral. More
