	Ocean Wanderers Guide to Shorebirds - Little Stint (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		A solid understanding of plumage variation in Little Stint is essential for the identifcation of vagrant sandpipers in the Western Palearctic and Africa.
		Little and Red-necked Stints are extremely similar in basic (winter) plumage and must be identificed with great caution.
		Confusion with Sanderling is possible, however Little Stints are much smaller, differ in the colour and pattern of scapulars and wing coverts.

	Stint mystery unraveled; a final conclusion on the possible "Long-toed Stint".
		The appearance of the stint at Ketura sewage pools on 11th May with unusually long legs was certainly enough to have the heart pounding!
		The visual appearance of the bird in the field was so distinct that I, and a number of visiting birders were able to pick it out from the handful of Little Stints present without a problem.
		In the first photo it is possible to age the bird: it has juvenile inner primaries and outer secondaries and lesser coverts, though age has little to do with identifying this particular individual.

	Stint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A stint is one of several very small waders in the genus Calidris, which in North America are known as peeps.
		Some of these birds are difficult to identify because of the similarity between species, and various breeding, non-breeding, juvenile and moulting plumages.
		The word 'stint' is also a variant of stent.

	Temminck's Stint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This stint's breeding habitat is bogs and marshes in the taiga of arctic northern Europe and Asia.
		The legs are yellow, and the outer tail feathers white, in contrast to Little Stint's dark legs and grey outer tail feathers.
		This is a rather drab wader, with mainly plain brown upperparts and head, and underparts white apart from a darker breast.

		The Little Stint (Culidris minuta; Figures 1-5) is one of seven small, similarly plumaged, Arctic-breeding scolopacids that are known collectively in the United States and Canada as "peeps" and in the Old World as stints.
		Little Stint is a long-distance migrant breeding in the High Arctic across the northern Palearctic and wintering primarily in Africa and India.
		Little Stint winters throughout Africa and the Mediterranean and east through the Arabian Peninsula and the Persian Gulf, to India and Myanmar, in a wide variety of wetland habitats (del Hoyo et al.

		Little Stint in such plumage looks strikingly different from the usually much more numerous juveniles in migrant autumn flocks, and has provided many false alarms because of its generally greyer appearance and superficial resemblance to Semipalmated Sandpiper.
		Red-necked Stint (Calidris ruficollis) is generally round-headed with a steep rounded forehead and bulky body, with long body line and attenuated rear-end, mainly an effect of its shorter legs and long wings and tail.
		Little Stint - Voice is a sharp, rather high-pitched and incisive "stit", uttered singly or repeated.

		Are you thinking that this is not a >Little Stint, or a different population than the ones you see in NW Europe?< Hi Dave, Julian and others, On my screen the legs have a greenish-grey colour and the feet look very big.
		While the largest Little Stint maybe nearly as large as the smallest Western Sandpiper, I have always thought that on average there is at least 15-20% difference in size.
		This Little Stint, which was in adult breeding plumage, was at the Iona Island sewage ponds near Vancouver, B.C., on June 2, 1992.

		Along with the more frequent little stint, the Temminck's stint is the smallest wader to visit Paxton Pits.
		Its small size is the most obvious feature, but care is needed to distinguish it from little stint, which has a much more rusty-orange tone to its upperparts and fl legs (Temminck's has mustard-yellow legs).
		Little stint also has two white 'tramlines' along its back that is absent in Temminck's stint.

		Other similar species are Little Stint, Long-toed Stint and Temminck's Stint none of which have occurred in the State yet, although all three are possible vagrants in the future.
		Expansion at the bill tip is not noticeable and this is (usually) lacking in Western Sandpiper and Little Stint, but present in Red-necked Stint and Semipalmated Sandpiper, although it is hard to discern the exact pattern of the bill-tip in the photograph.
		Little Stint does not usually show a complete band of streaks whereas Red-necked Stint and Semipalmated Sandpiper can show variable breast bands and so this feature is only of limited use in this photograph.

		This reversal of results is further confounded by the fact that 16 of the 18 Little Stint were 1st year birds, i.e., individuals that had recently fledged and were on their 1st migration south.
		The Little Stint is a monotypic species in which it is easy to separate the juveniles from adults based on plumage.
		The Little Stint breeds on high-arctic coastal mainland tundra and winters mainly in Africa, around the Indian Ocean and on coasts of the Indian sub-continent, with variable numbers also in the Mediterranean basin and the Persian Gulf (Cramp 1983).

	First Specimen Record of the Little Stint (Calidris minuta) for North America
		The bird was in full nuptial plumage, there was little body molt present, and its flight feathers were only moderately worn, suggesting it was an adult at least 2 and possible more yr of age (see Prater et al.
		The majority of sightings of the Little Stint in the Nearctic have involved vagrants seen in full nuptial plumage during the summer (Bermuda, 10-12 June 1975; Alaska, 28 June 1976) or early during the autumn migration period (Antigua, 23 July 1976; James Bay, 10 July 1979).
		Separation of the Little Stint and Rufous-necked Sandpiper by observers un- familiar with either species, however, requires particularly close observational and photographic docu- mentation for establishment of acceptable sight records.

		They are content to see the little stint as a bird, not as a grail.
		Earlier in the week, while recording a population survey, Nikula had discovered a red-necked stint (like Harvey's little stint in New Hampshire, this is an Old World sandpiper; unlike Harvey's bird, it has been spotted a number of times in Massachusetts) and a curlew sandpiper, both rarities, not merely good birds, but really good birds.
		She said this brightly, shaking her head a little, in thrall to the bird, to the idea it could simply up and leave, astonished by its freedom and whim.

		They are best separated from Temminck's Stints by a combination of dumpy shape, well-marked plumage and fl legs.
