From the author: We report the locations of 97 sightings of over 15,000 Western Sandpipers (Calidris mauri) color banded in Peru, Panama, Mexico, British Columbia, and Alaska. Ninety-five sightings were made in states and provinces along the Pacific Coast of Central America and North America. One sandpiper banded in British Columbia and one from Peru were seen east of the Rocky Mountains. We propose that most Western Sandpipers migrate from Central and South American winter quarters along the Pacific Coast of North America. We also propose that most post-breeding Western Sandpipers use a trans-Pacific route that bypasses southeast Alaska and makes landfall in southern British Columbia. Western Sandpipers that spend the winter on the Atlantic coast of the USA and in the Caribbean fly a trans-continental route beginning from the Pacific Coast of North America.
