They nest on sandy or gravel beaches or sandbars. They are bird migration in northern areas and winter on the coasts of the Gulf of Mexico, the southern Atlantic Ocean coast of the United States and the West Indies. These wader forage for food on beaches, usually by sight, moving across the beaches in short bursts. They mainly eat insects, marine worms and crustaceans. Its name comes from its piping call.
