Spotted Sandpiper Remembers To Keep An Eye On The Sky For Predators
I was curious what natural enemies were out there for this spotted sandpiper. I found the following on the animal diversity website:
"Spotted sandpiper eggs are eaten by deer mice, mink, weasels, river otters, yellow-headed blackbirds, red-winged blackbirds, song sparrows and ruddy turnstones. Spotted sandpiper chicks are hunted by common grackles, American crows, gulls and mink. Adult spotted sandpipers are hunted by least weasels, short-tailed weasels and raptors."
