Abstract
The Least Sandpiper (Calidris minutilla) is a small shorebird. It reproduces in the northern North America, and during the non-breeding season, it migrates to South America. In Argentina, this species has been reported only four times: in Córdoba, La Pampa, Buenos Aires and Catamarca provinces. Here, we report two new records of Least Sandpiper in Santa Fe province, which represent the fifth and sixth reports for Argentina.
