DIGGING DEEP

(Calidris alpina) Some of these little birds winter here on Cape Cod. Migrating from Alaska and the Canadian arctic. I love photographing these little ones. They allow us to get within feet of them. They are foraging for worms, mollusks and crustaceans. The female has a longer bill than the male. Unfortunately they are on the IUCN Red list of Threatened Species.
