Wandering Tattler

The Wandering Tattler, Tringa incana , is a medium-sized wading bird. It is similar in appearance to the closely related Gray-tailed Tattler, T. brevipes. The tattlers are unique among the species of Tringa for having unpatterned, greyish wings and backs, and a scaly breast pattern extending more or less onto the belly in breeding plumage, in which both also have a rather prominent supercilium.

The Wandering Tattler is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

All authorities note that this species' actual numbers and population trends are mired in uncertainty. More
