"They frequent the sandy beach as well as the marshy shores 

 upon the coast, but inland seem to prefer the edges of pools of 

 water upon the uplands. They move in small flocks, are very social, 

 .fi.-ii associating with other waders, are not a.s a rule shy or timid, 

 and, when startled, usually fly but a short distance, drop back, and 

 run about in an unconcerned and heedless manner, picking up the 

 minute forms of life that usually abound in such places, occasionally 

 uttering a nit her sharp, piping wee/, weet. Their flight is swift and 

 well sustained " ((Joss).
