So many Ruddy Turnstones (Arenaria interpres) around this fall migration. Much more than usual, although still uncommon. Probably because so much habitat on the larger lakes and rivers, a consequence of the extended drought during the summer. #BirdingHungary #waders #shorebirds #FallMigration2026

Most of the small #plovers around right now are Common Ringed Plovers. Little Ringed Plovers (Charadrius dubius) - like this one - are getting scarce. This is the only one I've seen in weeks. #BirdingHungary #shorebirds #waders #BirdsSeenIn2026

Short vid of last weekend's mystery Black-tailed Godwit (Limosa limosa). Bigger and taller than the Bar-tailed Godwit but not the biggest of the 4 godwit species. That distinction belongs to the Marbled Godwit. #BirdingHungary #shorebirds #waders #godwits

Phonescope image of the Polish ringed Black-tailed Godwit from the weekend. The nerve of this bird... running around with no ID. 👮 🚔 😂 Check out that crazy beak. Impossible to preen its neck unless it gets another godwit to do it. 😀 #BirdingHungary #godwits #WaderWednesday #shorebirds #waders

A whole bunch of Spotted Redshanks (Tringa erythropus) went thru in July but since then they have been a bit scarce. This is the first one I've seen in many weeks. #BirdingHungary #BirdsSeenIn2026 #shorebirds #waders #WaderWednesday #sandpipers

Polish color-ringed Black-tailed Godwit. Couldn't get details because there was no designation. Odd. Usually you can tell if the flag has been soiled, but this black flag was a consistent uniform black on both sides with no numbers, not even partial. #BirdingHungary #shorebirds #godwits #waders

Interesting scientific study about waders breeding in the High Arctic.
A recent study found that waders breeding in the Arctic tundra are much less likely to return to the same breeding sites than birds living in other habitats

A single American Golden-Plover (*Pluvialis dominica*) has been on the tideflats at Tulalip Bay, on the Tulalip Reservation north of Everett, since September 13. The species passes through Washington in small numbers every fall, mostly alon…
