Pectoral Sandpiper

Calidris melanotos

The Pectoral Sandpiper is a small bird that loves to wade in shallow waters. It has a special pectoral muscle that helps it run fast and catch food like insects and tiny fish.

生息地: Wetlands

外見

The Pectoral Sandpiper has a streaky brown back and a striking white belly with a sharply defined brown breast band. Its yellowish legs and a slightly downcurved bill help it forage in wet areas. This distinct breast band makes it look like it's wearing a 'vest'.
