Long-toed Stint (Calidris subminuta) Science Article 1
abstract
On 31 August 1997 Sheila Petch and Nick Allen were at Jarvis Road, Lake Ellesmere looking for shorebirds newly arrived from the Northern Hemisphere. While looking at a flock of recently arrived red-necked stints (Calidris ruflcollis) they noticed a bird of similar size, but with pale legs and much brighter plumage. However, the bird flew off before a description or photograph could be obtained, and it was not located again that day.
