Stilt Sandpiper, Calidris himantopus
				Stilt Sandpipers show up every year in small numbers in our area. They often hang out with dowitchers, and forage with a similar rapid stitching motion. Even without a good look at the bill (shorter, and slightly decurved) they are distinguishable from dowitchers by their more sharply uptilted posture while feeding, which results from the proportionately longer legs that gives them their name.
