Description

Spotted Sandpiper (Actitis macularius)

This unusual shorebird breeds along rivers, streams, and lakes in a variety of habitat types throughout the state, from sea level to near timberline.

Conspicuous by its distinctive teetering behavior, boldly spotted underparts, and noisy alarm calls, it is usually the only breeding shorebird present in its preferred habitat.

The appearance of a sandpiper along a tiny tributary in the upper reaches of a heavily forested watershed can be startling to one unfamiliar with the species' ubiquitous nature.

The Spotted Sandpiper is a widespread transient and breeder throughout the state, found in nearly every county in Oregon. Most birds depart the state by October.
