Pectoral Sandpiper (Calidris melanotos)

1/21/2014

0 Comments

 
These birds forage on grasslands and mudflats, picking up food by sight, sometimes by probing. They
mainly eat arthropods and other invertebrates. The male has a courtship display which involves puffing up his breast, which has a fat sac in the breeding season to enhance his performance.
