Abstract

The Long-toed Stint (Calidris subminuta) breeds in northeast Asia and migrates through southeast Asia to India and Australia (King et al. 1978). In Alaska, it is a rare spring and fall visitant to the western Aleutian Islands. There are spring records for the Pribilof Islands, St. Lawrence Island, and the Seward Peninsula (Kessel and Gibson 1978).

The first Long-toed Stint recorded in North America outside of Alaska was photographed and tape-recorded at the base of the South Jetty of the Columbia River, Clatsop County, Oregon, on 5 September 1981.
