Tuamotu Sandpiper

Prosobonia parvirostris

Endangered

The Tuamotu Sandpiper is a shorebird of central Pacific islands and surrounding coasts. It uses its bill, legs, and alert flight to feed on invertebrates, seeds, or small aquatic prey along coasts, mudflats, rivers, lakes, grasslands, or open ground; many shorebirds make impressive seasonal movements between breeding and non-breeding areas.
