At Kaolak River a dunlin was feeding and flying with a group of four semipalmated sandpipers. |
He would tell of immense flocks of widgeon, of banks of brent geese, and clouds of dunlin. |
Next day in the same general area where winds had driven water on the sand, four semipalmated sandpipers were feeding with dunlin. |
A name for the dunlin, Tringa alpina, a species of sand-piper frequenting our shores and the banks of rivers in winter. |
The animals eat the eggs of wading birds including dunlin, lapwing, redshank and snipe. |
For some shorebird species, such as willets and dunlin, we had diet data from BBH, although diets for several other species at this site are unknown. |
