Least sandpipers are smaller than house sparrows, yet some of these birds—the smallest shorebirds in the world—migrate nonstop across 2500 miles of open ocean.
It's very difficult to capture just how miniascule they are in a photograph, but the last of these frames gives you a hint. The hulking leviathan that looms in the background is a 1.5 oz snowy plover!

My video-ing skills are even worse than my photography; here's the Least Sandpiper that visited Drift Reservoir a few months back. It spent some time with a Wood Sandpiper.

A least sandpiper (Calidris minutilla) in loose mud at the East Pond of Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. In this particular area, the mud is loose enough that even the tiniest birds start to sink and have to use their wings to extract themselves.
