Field Notes

Description:

Adults generally have gray heads, necks, and breasts, gray or brown backs and wings, and a white belly, but show a confusing amount of variation in plumage details. The white outer tail feathers flash distinctively in flight and while hopping on the ground. The bill is usually pale pinkish.

Habitat:

This bird is common across much of temperate North America and in summer ranges far into the Arctic
