Field Notes

Habitat:

breed in the tundra of High Arctic Canadian islands and peninsulas; migrating along the North American coast, Sanderlings stop on hard-packed sand beaches, tidal mudflats, rocky coastlines, and inland bodies of water—including ponds, streams, reservoirs, and shallow prairie lakes. They spend the winter on sandy beaches all over the world

Notes:

A number of them running with the Ruddy Turnstones and some laughing gulls along the shore of this beach.
