| Wandering Tattler It is a winter visitor, arriving in the islands by August and leaving for Alaskan breeding grounds in late April or early May. |
 |
| In its winter plumage it is dark gray above and light gray below. It is generally a solitary bird, sometimes found in pairsor small flocks. I saw only one. They feed by probing the bill into mud or under rocks. They bob their tail when looking for food. They frequent mudflats, sandy beaches, rocky coastline, and interior rocky streams. |
