The smallest member of the sandpiper family, no bigger than a sparrow. The Least Sandpiper is the most likely of all sandpipers to be seen on small bodies of water inland. On sandy riverbanks, lake shores, and edges of sewage treatment ponds, little Least Sandpiper flocks fly up to circle the area and then settle again, giving thin, reedy cries as they go. On the outer coast, outnumbered by bigger shorebirds, they seek out sheltered places on the muddy edges of the marsh.
