Range Extent200,000 to >2,500,000 square km (about 80,000 to >1,000,000 square miles)

Rank Reasons

Moderately large range, but no evidence of declines or major threat on either breeding or non-breeding grounds.

Range Extent Comments

BREEDING: northern and western Alaska (Point Barrow and Seward Peninsula, possibly elsewhere) and northeastern Siberia. NON-BREEDING: from southern China south to Andaman and Nicobar Islands, East Indies, New Guinea, Bismarck and Solomon Islands, Australia, Tasmania, and New Zealand. MIGRATION: coastal northern Alaska, through Pribilofs and Aleutians, widely in coastal western and south-coastal Alaska, casually southward to California (AOU 1983). Accidental in Hawaii and northeastern U.S.

Ecology & Habitat

Habitat

NON-BREEDING: tidal mudflats and beaches; migrant flocks may pause in open areas such as antenna fields and airstrips (AOU 1983, Pratt et al. 1987). BREEDING: Swampy or mossy tundra, especially with scattered willow scrub (AOU 1983).
