Tliis is a more strictly maritime species than the other representa- tives of this genus. Sandy beaches are its favorite resorts, but it is also found on mud-flats exposed by tiie falling tide. Dr. Cones de- scribes its note as half a whistle, half a chirp, quite different from that of the preceding species. It is a gentle, unsuspicious bird, and when its nest is aj)proaclu'd it runs about the intruder and begs as plainly as a bird can that he will not disturb its treasures.
