	Red-necked Stint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Red-necked Stint is strongly migratory, wintering in south east Asia and Australasia as far south as Tasmania.
		The Red-necked Stint, Calidris ruficollis, is a small wader.
		The Red-necked Stint's small size, fine dark bill, dark legs and quicker movements distinguish this species from all waders except the other dark-legged stints.

	Stint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The species usually considered as stints or peeps are:
		A stint is one of several very small waders in the genus Calidris, which in North America are known as peeps.
		The word 'stint' is also a variant of stent.

		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.
		Adult Summer is similar to Red-necked Stint with orange-rufous on head, breast and upperparts of varying extent and strength, however the orange does not extend to the throat and is completely pervaded by streaks and dark speckles on the ear-coverts, side of the neck and breast (although they can appear unifrom at a distance).
		The most obvious and prominant difference between these two species and the other stints dealt with above is their greenish coloured legs, as opposed to black in the other species.

	Submission No:318
		The small size and uniform wear of the scapulars and the tertial markings are consistent with a bird in juvenile plumage (a typical plumage for Red-necked Stints in November).
		The possibility of Little Stint is eliminated because but the restricted dark markings in the centres of the tertials and exposed wing coverts look quite wrong for that species.
		The field notes were understandably rather rudimentary but do describe a small stint with black bill and legs as depicted in the series of photographs taken.

	Red-necked Stint in New York
		Remarkably, a Little Stint was discovered on the same beach the next day and photographs of this bird can be viewed here.
		The stint regularly paused to roost for a few moments, typically standing on one leg and would often tuck its bill under a wing.
		just after high tide, it was in loose company with a hundred or so Semipalmated and Least Sandpipers and several hundred Short-billed Dowitchers, Red Knot, Sanderling, Piping Plover, Semipalmated Plover and Willets.

	Little Stint a Yukon First at Judas Creek
		The primary contenders for confusion with Little Stint are Semipalmated Sandpiper, Western Sandpiper, Red-necked Stint Calidris ruficollis and Sanderling Calidris alba.
		A breeding plumage Little Stint was documented at the south end of the Salton Sea in southern California on 18 May 1991 (Patten et.al.
		The Little Stint at Judas Creek provided both a first Yukon record for this species and one of very few spring records for North America (outside western Alaska).

	A birder's Diary of the Montlake Fill
		i had returned for a final look for the red-necked stint and to find a thayer's gull (mentioned to us by barry levine) and a herring gull (mentioned in the birder's book from, i believe, the previous day), but the raptors had other ideas.
		i went with marvin cooper, another tweeter, to iona island, with the hope that we could find the juvenile red-necked stint.
		we did not find the stint, but did run into a few birders, most of whom i had only ever communicated with by email.

	* Stint - (Bird): Definition
		Red-necked Stint, Red-capped Plover, Greater Sand Plover, Sharp-tailed Sandpiper, Greenshank, Pied Oystercatcher, Curlew Sandpiper, Golden Plover, Terek Sandpiper, Broad-billed Sandpiper, Grey-tailed Tattler...
		They were about two years old, and pure white, although of much smaller size than even the younger one represented in the plate before you, having perhaps been stinted in food, or having suffered from their wounds, as both had been shot...
		The little stint is a tiny wading bird with a short straight fine black bill and medium-length black legs.

	Sea of Okhotsk Website: Falk Hüttmann
		Droppings of Red-necked Stints were collected for future investigations, and five specimens were collected for morphometric studies and future stable isotope analysis by the author.
		During fall migration, Red Knot were only encountered in very small numbers at the Ola Lagoon, and juvenile Great Knot were found in the Magadan region in decent numbers, but not in Southwestern Kamchatka.
		For Great Knot and Red Knot we conclude that the southeastern region of Sea of Okhotsk is not used as a resting or stopover site during fall migration.

	BirdForum - Which Stint?
		Only by a stint of hard work would I be able to identify that bird.
		This bird does give the impression of being on the large side for a stint, which would support that, as does the bill length.
		According to a recent post the bird has now left and has been identified as a Little Stint by Steve Easley, a birder with some experience with this species in Africa.

	A YEAR ON THE WING - an online documentary LEARNING & DOING
		The Sharp-tailed Sandpiper is another migratory wader that can be seen on wetlands with the Eastern Curlew, the Bar-tailed Godwit and the Red-necked Stint.
		The Red Knot breeds in the high arctic of Alaska, Greenland, Canada and Siberia, and migrates to locations as varied as South America, South Africa, Aotearoa/New Zealand and Australia.
		In contrast to the mottled grey upper parts of the body, the head breast and belly of the male Bar-tailed Godwit are a vivid red brown colour during breeding season.

		The Red-necked Stint has also been seen west of the viewing point on the Eggleston property on a sand spit that ends with rocks and bricks in the lake--the second spit from the viewing point.
		The RED-NECKED STINT found at Lake Contrary, Buchanan Co., by Larry Lade is associating with many Pectoral Sandpipers, a few Least and Semi-palmated Sandpipers, a Spotted and a Solitary, and an occasional Killdeer.
		The locations were (1) At the swimming beach on the north side of the lake; (2) on one of two sand spits west of the Eggleston property on the south side of the lake and (3) in an area of shallow water east of the Eggleston property.

		Compared with the common Red-necked Stint, its movement is more slow and deliberate, unlike the quick energetic actions of the Red-necked Stint.
		For a moment sunlight on one leg reveals yellow, in contrast to the black legs of the Red-necked and Little Stints.
		The Long-toed Stint is the tiny bird walking to the left from between the two much larger sandpipers.

	Red-necked Stint Calidris ruficollis - A New Bird for Israel
		Red-necked Stint (Calidris ruficollis) is a long distance migrant that breeds in eastern most Siberia and winters from Southern China south to Australasia.
		Their first rate identification and quick thinking allowed a number of Israel's birders to see the first new species to be discovered in the country since October 1999, when an Oriental Pratincole was seen in Beer Sheva.
		Today's observations were made at Eilat's north sewage pools and the Ein Evrona salt pools, where the bird commuted frequently between the two places but eventually gave wonderful views alongside Little Stints in the late afternoon light.

	Untitled Document
		I realised immediately that this was something unusual as it was too large and too heavily scalloped on the back for a Red-necked Stint and the bill was too long.
		The bird was about half to two-thirds the size of the Curlew Sandpipers and very heavily scalloped on the back, the black bill appeared to be straight, thin and about one and a half times the length of the head.
		It was also too large and paler than a Long-toed Stint — another species I have seen regularly at Tullakool and elsewhere.

	OSME - Red-necked Stint in Israel
		A lone stint Calidris sp., initially found at close range by DG, after a short time was identified as a Red-necked Stint C.
		Well known as a long-distant migrant, Red-necked Stint breeds in north-east Siberia and northwest Alaska, and winters in south-east Asia south and east to Australia and New Zealand, but has occasionally been recorded in winter in eastern and southern Africa (Hayman et al.
		It is noteworthy that, from a distance, it was easier to detect the bird by the scaly appearance to the upperparts, rather than by its reddish throat, especially, of course, when the bird was seen from behind.

		The rather plain wing coverts (particularly plain greater coverts) are typical of juvenile Red-necked Stint.
		Pectoral and Sharp-tailed Sandpipers, are longer necked and somewhat longer-billed with a paler base to the bill, more extensively marked on the underparts (Pectoral and adult Sharp-tailed) or much more extensively patterned with bright highlights (juvenile Sharp-tailed).
		Juvenile Little Stints are also more heavily marked with rufous throughout the wing coverts.

	What's New
		Curlew Sandpipers numbers were so reduced this year relative to Red-necked Stints that it was difficult to catch adequate samples.
		For example at Barrallier Island in Westernport, over 1300 Red-necked Stints were caught with just 50 Curlew Sandpipers and this in a supposed Curlew Sandpiper stronghold!.
		Data to the end of January confirms that Red-necked Stint have had a very poor breeding season in 2004.

	ANS - August 3rd
		An adult RED-NECKED STINT was spotted at Bombay Hook NWR, DE, in the late morning of July 31.
		At Bombay Hook, edges are starting to appear in the formerly flooded impoundments, and on July 31 they drew 17 species of shorebird (in addition to the stint).
		Around midday, the birds there were put up by a hawk and the Stint was not relocated.

		Since the young bird scarcely differs from the young Semipalmated Sandpiper, it is likely that the Red-necked Stint is more numerous than records would indicate.
		Once considered a rarity confined to Alaska, it is now known to turn up occasionally in British Columbia, California, and even New England.
		In breeding plumage, face, neck, and upper breast rufous, with white chin spot, and rest of underparts white; upperparts rufous and brown with black blotches.

		by the method of elimination, the bird should be the Red-necked Stint or Rufous-necked Stint (Calidris ruficollis) in transitional and winter plumage.
		Not the Temminck's Stint because it should have a uniformly darker and duller brownish grey upperparts and greyish breast, and yellowish or greenish legs.
		A size comparison with mongol, look out for the reddish neck of some with the fading breeding plume.

	Little Stint in New York
		Tentatively identified as Little Stint by the finders, there has been some debate over the identification with other observers favouring a Red-necked Stint in a more advanced state of molt to the initial bird.

	Sandpipers
		The ability to correctly age sandpipers in migration is critical for identification between similar species, especially in the Calidris stints.
		Among the challenges of shorebirding is to learn the three plumages of each migratory species while keeping in mind the distances and directions they travel.
		Both use the paintings of Lars Jonsson to illustrate all three plumages (juvenal, basic, and alternate), and these papers were instrumental in getting observers to understand that the first step in wader i.d.
