  • notes   The Dunlin (Calidris alpina) is a small wader, sometimes separated with the other 'stints' in Erolia. It is a circumpolar breeder in Arctic or subarctic regions.

Birds that breed in Alaska and the Canadian Arctic migrate short distances to the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of North America, although those nesting in Northern Alaska overwinter in Asia.
