flocks with other waterfowl. They glean the prey from the moist surface or probe the wetground for prey. They mostly use the typical run-stop-peck method of feeding. They lay
their eggs on the coast of northeastern Siberia or in the plains of Alaska during the breedingseason of May-June, digging in the ground near bushes or rocks and making nests of
