| | OCCURRENCE OF MIGRANT SHOREBIRDS IN THE MARIANA ISLANDS |
 | | The Whimbrel (Numenius phaeopus), Gray-tailed Tattler (Heteroscelus brevipes), and Ruddy Turnstone (Arenaria interpres) were common, and the Wood Sandpiper (Tringa glareola), Common Sandpiper (Actitis hypoleucos), Wandering Tattler (Heteroscelus interpres), Rufous-necked Stint (Calidris ruficollis), and Mongolian Plover (Charadrius mongolus) were uncommon migrants and winter visitors. |
 | | A greater number and variety of shorebirds were seen during autumnal migration, which coincides with flooding of seasonal wetlands and higher shorebird populations, than during spring migration. |
