The Least Sandpiper are the smallest member of the sandpiper family, no bigger than a sparrow. This is the sandpiper most likely to be seen on small bodies of water inland. On sandy riverbanks, lake shores, & edges of sewage treatment ponds, little flocks of Least Sandpipers fly up to circle the area & 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. Forages mostly by walking slowly & picking up tiny items from surface of ground. Sometimes probes in mud for food. Diet also includes small snails, marine worms, seeds. in spring on Atlantic Coast, may join other shorebirds in feeding on eggs of horseshoe crab. This carving is what is seen on the shores of the US coast line. the carving took me 40 days to complete, it's made of tupelo wood & painted with acrylic paints, the baes is made of pine.
