Intrepid Rock Climber
From Wild South Florida -
One constant: the orange legs and feet (though brighter orange during nesting season). During the summer, ruddy turnstones feed on bugs, berries, seeds and moss. In winter, their tastes turn to seafood, with crustaceans, mollusks and small fish on the menu. They also eat bird's eggs, carion and garbage. Their summer diet is critical; they need to add fat to sustain them during their long migration or risk not making the trip at all.
