If You Can’t Fly… Run !!

Went out yesterday to enjoy the wonderful beach weather we usually have in SoCal this time of year.

 

I spotted this Shorebird running along the surf-line looking for a breakfast treat. It looked like a member of the Sandpiper family, but I couldn’t definitively identify the bird.

 

One of the waves overtook the bird causing a bit of commotion and wing flapping, but it came through the situation unscathed and ready for more action : )
