Least SandPiper

Least Sandpipers are tiny sandpipers with round bodies and relatively short, pointed wings. They have thin-tipped, slightly decurved bills and slim, medium-length legs. Least Sandpipers feed on invertebrates in the mud and sand along the edges of water. They often gather in loose flocks and frequently join other species, but they tend to be in smaller groups and feed toward drier edges than other small sandpipers. Least Sandpipers feed on mudflats and the edges of water bodies. They tend to favor muddier shores and estuaries than other sandpipers, and are not common on ocean beaches. They breed in wet tundra and interrupted boreal forest across much of northern North America.
