	Stilt Sandpiper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Stilt Sandpiper, Calidris himantopus, previously Micropalama himantopus, is a small shorebird.
		It has resemblances to the calidrid sandpipers, especially the Curlew Sandpiper, and recent genetic analysis has shown that it is closely allied to that species, necessitating its return to the genus Calidris.
		Juvenile Stilt Sandpipers resemble the adults in their strong head pattern and brownish back, but they are not barred below, and show white fringes on the back feathering.

		Ambition is but avarice on stilts, and masked.
		The European and Asiatic stilt ({H. candidus) is usually white, except the wings and interscapulars, which are greenish fl.
		The white-headed stilt ({H. leucocephalus) and the banded stilt ({Cladorhynchus pectoralis) are found in Australia.

	Memorandum to:
		If you hunt hard enough photos of Stilt Sandpipers, you can certainly find a few in which the legs were dull in colour, or concealed by mud.
		Similarly the ear coverts of non-breeding Stilt Sandpipers should normally be quite heavily streaked (a sort of foreshadowing of the diagnostic chestnut ear-patch seen in alternate plumage) but the field sketches depict a bird with pale ear-coverts.
		Curlew Sandpiper bill shapes are not as stereotyped as the submission might imply, and they differ slightly between the sexes: males have slightly longer bills, and in both sexes, some individuals have bills that are more nearly straight than others.

		Stilt Sandpipers are scarce breeders along the Northeast coast of Alaska.

	All About Birds
		In its boldly barred breeding plumage, the Stilt Sandpiper is easily identified.
		In its gray nonbreeding plumage, it is much less distinctive and appears to be intermediate between a yellowlegs and a dowitcher.
		The main southward migration route route of the Stilt Sandpiper passes through the middle of the continent, west of the Mississippi River.

	Long-legged Sandpiper
		I have often spoken of the great differences as to size and colour that are observed in birds of the same species, and which have frequently given rise to mistakes, insomuch that the male, the female, and the young, have been considered as so many distinct species.
		BONAPARTE was, in truth, the first who described this bird; and although some differences might be found between his specimen and the one described in the work just mentioned, they are trifling compared with those which I have observed between seven or eight individuals all procured from the same flock at a single shot.
		The females were all larger than the males, and differed from each other not only in the markings of the plumage, but also in the length of the bill, to the extent of a quarter of an inch, and of the legs, to a still greater extent.

	Sighting Record for Utah - White-rumped Sandpiper
		Baird’s Sandpiper was the closest match in size and shape, including bill shape, but the upperparts, head pattern and streaked flanks were still wrong.
		Stilt Sandpiper shares several of the characteristics of this bird; however, the bird was not slender enough to be a Stilt, and its neck was not long enough.
		The bill was too straight for Stilt, the crown and auricular patches were not rusty enough, and the underparts streaking not extensive enough.

		The Stilt Sandpiper is very similar in shape to one of the yellowlegs, but is more closely related to the tiniest of the sandpipers.
		When feeding, they tend to act like a dowitcher, probing mudflats and shallow water with their long bills.
		They are often less shy than other sandpipers, a trait which led to a severe decline as hunters targeted them in the 1800s.

	Birds - Stilt Sandpiper
		Like most birds that spend part of their lives at least in Arctic desolation, these sandpipers, not knowing man, have little fear of him, being of the same gentle, confiding disposition, apparently, as the dowitchers, with which they may some-times be found, lured by the sportsman's decoys.
		Yet when they walked—for they do not run as actively as true sandpipers, this species being a connecting link between sandpipers and snipe—they moved grace-fully and easily.
		One characteristic they have that reminds one of the avocet and fl-necked stilt: on alighting they first teeter, then stand motionless as if to steady themselves and make sure of their balance.

		Tends to wade or swim in deeper water than other sandpipers, sometimes as small groups.
		Adults in pre-basic molt are readily identified by the combination of strong flank barring, rusty crown and ear-coverts and delicate bill.
		When feeding in belly deep water, adult Stilts can sometimes be hard to spot amongst dowitchers which share the rusty colors on the head and complex pattering across the upperparts.

		Sunday saw the peak of the shorebird staging ahead of the cold-front although it was apparent at sunrise that yellowlegs, at least, were on the move along the lakeshore.
		I saw it successful with two birds but the third was left standing with wings folded forward over its head obscuring its body completely (possibly to keep cool but had the effect of giving the temporarily orphaned individual a most forlorn look).
