The bird does not ever associate, except by chance, with any other species. On the sand flats here it is often seen, of course, among a very small number & on the river borders with Actitis but when anything startles the feeding birds the Solitary Sandpiper invariably rises and flies off either alone or with their own kind. They do not feed much on the flats except at dawn & evening and at all times they are most common along the wooded banks of rivers or small ponds in the forest. American Wood Sandpiper should have been from the name of the species. 1897 September 6(2) 7(2) 10(2) 11(2) 15(2) Pond 25(2) 26(2) 29-30(2) 1898 September 11'
