Sanderling (Calidris alba)

A Sanderling searching for food along the shore on the Madeira Beach Access located in the City of Madeira Beach on the Gulf of Mexico in Pinellas County Florida U.S.A.

 

Sanderlings breed on the High Arctic tundra and migrate south in fall to become one of the most common birds along beaches. They gather in loose flocks to probe the sand of wave-washed beaches for marine invertebrates, running back and forth in a perpetual “wave chase.”
