Spotted Sandpiper- Mia Hellman
(Actitis macularius)
Spotted sandpiper birds (Actitis macularius) live across North America on beaches and shorelines. They are in the domain Eukarya, kingdom Animalia, phylum Chordata, class Aves, order Charadriiformes, family Scolopacidae, genus Actitis, and species macularius. They have bilateral symmetry. They are small brown and white birds. A functional adaptation is that they camouflage in their surroundings due to their color. A behavioral adaptation is that they stay in flocks and somewhat work together. They are very widespread across America and can handle the climate of most places in the United States. A cool fact is the male is the primary role in parental care. Their predators are humans and they eat small invertebrates. They are heterotrophs and are endothermic.
