noun
wandering tattler
A migratory shorebird (Tringa incana) found in rocky coastal areas. The name is a katakana loan from English 'American' (メリケン) plus キアシシギ (tattler).
メリケンキアシシギは、岩場でよく見られる渡り鳥です。
The wandering tattler is a migratory bird often seen on rocky shores.
キアシシギ (Tringa brevipes, grey-tailed tattler) is a closely related species; メリケンキアシシギ is distinguished by its darker plumage and different call.
From メリケン (American) + キアシシギ (tattler). The 'American' element likely refers to its breeding range in Alaska and northwestern North America.
