Abstract:In July 1985, 12 Spotted Sandpiper (Actitis macularia) eggs were incubated and hatched in captivity. Chicks were reared and maintained until May 1986. At that time, two males were released into their natural environment. One of the individuals bred successfully. This is the first documented case of a captive-reared sandpiper breeding in the wild. /// En julio de 1985, un total de 12 huevos de Actitis macularia fueron incubados en cautiverio, y 10 eclosionaron.
