The Wandering Tattler is a robust, medium-sized shorebird with plain grey upperparts and barred underparts. It is renowned for its extensive migratory journeys across the Pacific Ocean.
Where to spot
Breeds in rocky areas of Alaska and northwestern Canada, wintering widely across Pacific islands and coasts from Baja California south to Chile, and west to Australia.
How to spot
Look for it on rocky coastlines, breakwaters, and jetties, where it often bobs its head and bobs its tail up and down. Listen for its distinctive, rapid, trilled whistle call.
When to spot
Most easily observed during migration (late summer/early autumn, mid-spring) along Pacific coastlines. Can be seen year-round in its extensive wintering range.
