Field Notes

Habitat:

During migration and winter, they forage on beaches but will also use mudflats. Sanderlings nest in the High Arctic on gravel patches and low-growing, wet tundra.

Notes:

Nice little flock of these guys today as usual running all over the place. Except the sleepy fellow in the first pic. LOL
