Snapshot – Sanderling

Sanderlings are the little shorebirds that are usually seen “wave chasing” on a sandy beach. They run along the very edge of the surf line, dodging incoming waves as they probe the sand for food. There aren’t many sandy beaches along the rocky shore of Maine but they can use the same technique on the rocks. This is a group of Sanderlings trying to dodge an incoming wave. They have a knack for moving the smallest distance possible. And they don’t mind getting a little wet if necessary.
