This is the common little sandpiper throughout the state. 
No one who has walked by a lake shore or along the mar- 
gins of any considerable stream or moderate to large pond, 
can have failed to see this bird. It is common everywhere 
all summer, breeding in fields or on the steep banks of lakes 
and rivers. Only once have I failed to find it on the lake 
shore in summer, gleaning among the debris thrown up by 
the waves. I have also watched it gleaning in the meadows 
and plowed fields. 
The first reach Oberlin about April 17th, and the last are 
seen during the first week of September. These dates do 
not vary materially from those for southern Ohio contrib- 
uted by Rev. Mr. Henninger.

The reports indicate that this rather conspicuous bird is 
rarely seen within the state, but the places of occurrence 
are so well scattered that it may be expected to occur occa- 
sionally over practically the whole of the state except the 
southeastern fifth. Dr. Wheaton records specimens taken 
near Cleveland by Dr. Kirtland; at Licking reservoir, spec- 
imens captured there having been examined by Dr. Whea- 
ton, and the probability of its occurrence at St. Mary’s res- 
ervoir; and Dr. Langdon’s records of several specimens 
taken near Cincinnati. To these may be added Defiance 
(Slocum), Erie (Moseley), and an additional record of a 
flock of seven at Licking reservoir, May 31, 1902, recorded 
by the writer and Mr. Irving A. Field. While it is possible
