Terek Sandpiper Carmel River mouth Monterey Co., California 2 Sep 1988 This was the first (and remains the only) California record of this old world species. It was seen by hundreds of people at the time and was very well publicized. I bet virtually every birdwatcher in California in 1988 saw this bird. The main photo shows it in some beach debris, while the 2nd photo shows the bird on the beach with a Willet in the background. The Terek is about the size of a Solitary Sandpiper. There are occasional records of this species in Alaska, and on the Aleutians it is probably annual, but mainland U.S. records are very rare.

Terek Sandpiper Xenus cinereus Gambell, St. Lawrence Island, Alaska 23 May 2012 This was one of two different Terek Sandpipers we found on the same day. This one was pretty shy and would not allow close approach, unlike the other one which was very confiding.

Terek Sandpiper Xenus cinereus Gambell, St. Lawrence Island, Alaska 23 May 2012 This was one of two different Terek Sandpipers we found on the same day. This bird was extremely confiding and allowed a group of us to stand 50 feet away for almost an hour. The bird actively fed and allowed many of us to photograph it extensively. I probably have 100 images of the bird, 2 of which I'll post here.
