	Dunlin
		Dunlins are chunky, medium-sized sandpipers, commonly sighted across North America during migration between their wintering areas on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and their breeding grounds in Alaska and extreme northern Canada.
		Dunlins breed on the coastal tundra of Alaska and the Northwest Territories, as well as the western margins of Hudson Bay and James Bay.
		North American Dunlins migrate across the entire continent, stopping in various wetland areas en route to their wintering grounds along both coasts from British Columbia to Baja California, and from Massachusetts to the Yucatan Peninsula.

	The BirdWeb - Species Description (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Dunlin flocks are often huge, most impressive when they display their coordinated aerial maneuvers trying to escape predation by Peregrine Falcons and Merlins.
		Dunlin are currently the second most common shorebird in Washington, and the most common of Washington’s wintering shorebirds, but numbers have declined in the Northwest in recent decades.
		Dunlin are considered an indicator species for assessing the health of Holarctic ecosystems, so determining range-wide population trends should be of high priority as reduction in their numbers could indicate that other species that use these ecosystems are at risk.

	Shorebird Identification
		Dunlin can be excluded for a few raisons but the most obvious one is that the wings project clearly beyond the tail, a feature that is not seen in Dunlin (In the latter wings level or fall even a bit shorter).
		Dunlin's primaries tend to be even with the tail, though I suspect there is variation between individuals (and perhaps races?).
		The difference, on the scale of the individual feather, is on Dunlin the dark streak along the feather shaft is shorter and broader, and set on a generally gray feather which pales towards the edge.

	Shorebird Identification
		This didn't seem extraordinary, as the bird was caught in motion, and seems to have its feathers tightly pressed to its body, possibly against the heat of a Texas beach in April.
		In particular, the latter appeared to be characteristic of Dunlin in that the upper mandible drooped at the tip instead of curving downward quite evenly throughout its length.
		I've felt from the outset that this bird is a Dunlin, and that confusion may stem from some observers' inexperience with American subspecies of Dunlin.

	Calidris alpina
		The Dunlin is our commonest small wader but its fat shape and slightly down-curved bill are worth studying so you'll find it easier to pick out something rarer.
		Most Dunlin in spring and autumn show signs of either the fl belly which is gained in summer or fl spots on the flanks which are typical of juvenile plumage.
		In flight, the Dunlin is one of a dozen small waders which show a pale wing bar and white sides to the tail.

		Much of this discussion seems = academic to me as "grey" Curlew Sands should be obvious in the field cf = Dunlin (even big ones) due to structure but mainly on the paler, greyer = plumage (less brown).

		I would even suspect that in the posture the bird is standing in, a flattend wing would not enlarge but if there would be any changing at all rather diminish the wingprojection).
		Unfortunately, it seems that we'll need to break this bird down on a feather-by-feather basis, which is at the same time one of the most informative and most tedious exercises of this forum.
		If this bird is a Dunlin, the presence of this pattern on the median coverts supports the ID. Curlew Sandpiper in juvenile plumage of course has the strong subterminal markings which are the diagnostic point that birders searching for this species often look for.

		The dunlin is not only common in coastal regions but it breeds even up in the mountains.
		Found primarily around marshy areas where it feeds energetically on worms, insects and small crustaceans, it is recognised by its small size and downward curved beak.
		It is possible to get quite close to them if one is cautious.
