August 2012 - Pectoral Sandpiper | Pectoral Sandpiper, Calidris melanotos The Pectoral Sandpiper nests and breeds in the tundra of Canada and Alaska and migrates all the way to South America where it spends the winter. It is named for the way the male displays its breast markings by inflating air sacs during courtship. One way to identify this sandpiper from others is by the distinctive brown, patterned breast and white underparts.
