Rufous-necked Stint

The Red-necked Stint is a small migratory wader.

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

The Rufous-necked Stint, Calidris ruficollis, known in the Marshall Islands as Aerar, is a small, white-breasted bird. About six inches long, the Rufous-necked Stint has short, black legs and a stout, tapered bill. For most of the year, it is gray and white with darker feather shafts, and displays a frosty gray cap, white forehead and eyebrow with a dark line through the eye. During breeding season, however, the Rufous-necked Stint exhibits an unmarked reddish face and upper breast. More

The one prior record of Rufous-necked Stint was an adult in the Moss Landing Wildlife Area salt ponds from 13-14 July 2001 (color photo in Roberson 2002). There are 8 other California records of breeding (alternate) plumaged adults elsewhere in California's coastal counties.

misidentified as a rufous-necked stint, which I think was the old name for red-necked stint, but was later proved to be a little stint). I was just starting to be interested in birds, so I drove down at dawn one July day and wandered around with a throng of birders hoping to see it. More
