=== Breeding === Sharp-tailed sandpipers breed from to June to August in the short Siberian summer, making shallow, hollow, lined nests made of leaves and grass. The nests are hidden on the ground and hard to distinguish from surrounding the surrounding landscape. The clutch size is usually four eggs, with the females incubating and raising the chicks.<ref name=":4">{{Cite web |title=Calidris acuminata, Sharp-tailed Sandpiper |url=https://collections.museumsvictoria.com.au/species/8200 |access-date=5 June 2023 |website=Museums Victoria Collections |archive-date=5 June 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230605105703/https://collections.museumsvictoria.com.au/species/8200 |url-status=live }}</ref> The breeding plumage is more vivid, with breast feathers greater in chestnut colour and their chevron-shaped markings becoming more defined.<ref name=":1" />
