Behavior of Buff-breasted Sandpipers in dry upland sites differed from behavior at wetlands.

Behavior profiles give the percent of birds engaged in each behavior category based on Flock Scans. Flocks of Buff-breasted Sandpiper were only observed at wetlands in the afternoons and evenings so the behavior profile of birds in dry uplands includes only observations obtained after 1200 h. Overall behaviors differ between habitat types (Wilks' Lambda = 0.73; F4, 49 = 4.4, P<0.004); F and P values in the table show the results of univariate tests of differences between habitats for each behavior category. Values are given as mean ±1 SE.
