| Summary: | On 17 October 1997 we observed one individual of Buff-breasted Sandpiper Tryngites subruficollis on a beach of Praia Deserta, Barra do Superagui, Superagui National Park, municipality of Guaraqueçaba, on the northern coast of Paraná. The only previous records for the Paraná coast dates from 1993. On 10 September 2009 we observed nine individuals of the species in a rice field in Joáia district, municipality of Tijucas, central coast of Santa Catarina state, southern Brazil. This is the first record for this state. The scarce number of records in these states may be related to regional rarity of the species, absence of field work in the proper habitat and time of year, and/or misidentification with other sandpipers. |
