Baird's Sandpiper

The Baird’s Sandpiper is an uncommon breeding bird in Arctic Alaska using both coastal and montane regions. This species typically nests in upland, well-drained, exposed tundra, generally avoiding wet tundra although will sometimes nest in wet prairie meadows near lakes (Marconi & Salvadori 2008). Like other sandpipers, Baird’s Sandpipers feed almost entirely on insects during the breeding season adjusting to seasonal shifts in primary prey items (Moskoff and Montgomerie 2002). This species is a long-distance migrant and winters throughout the southern cone of South America. Current population estimate is 300,000 (Morrison et al. 2006).
