Defining Pecks 1913
For most birds, the word “pecks” describes an action made with its beak in an effort to attain food, create lodging, or defend itself. For this bird, “pecks” refers to its well defined, heavily streaked brown breast, that it frequently fluffs in display. These medium sized sandpipers also have an inflatable throat sack that expand and contract during flight, giving it a unique and unusual call. They are known as Pectoral Sandpipers. In essence, the bird defines the word and the word defines the bird. #PectoralSandpipers
