Tringa totanus · Icelandic: Stelkur
The alert "sentinel of the marsh," first to sound the alarm.
Habitat: Marshes, wet meadows and shorelines | Season: Apr–Oct
Extremely alert; loud, piping alarm calls at the first sign of danger have earned it the nickname "sentinel of the marsh."
Because other birds trust the Redshank's alarm calls, it's often the first to spook an entire wetland into flight.
