Western Sandpiper

Breeding plumage

• Western Sandpipers compete with many other sandpiper species when foraging. When larger Dunlin are absent, Western Sandpipers forage at the edge of the receding or advancing tide, where prey is easiest to catch. When Dunlin are present, Westerns often forage on drier areas of mud.

Non-breeding plumage

In migration (like these birds in Cordova, Alaska) they travel in massive flocks .
