The Tattler of Tattler Creek

Tattler Creek TattlerWandering Tattlers are an uncommon shorebird that can perhaps most reliable be encountered along Alaska’s upland creeks and where they nest. The nests themselves are difficult to locate, though on one occasion we came upon tiny, recently-hatched peeps scurrying along a stony river shoreline. One day while visiting Denali National Park, Barbra and I hike up Tattler Creek to look for tattlers. We lucked out and got this photograph. Later, we saw them on the Chignik, often in pairs in late summer after the nesting season was complete and they were leaving the area.
