Shore birds are such fun coastal residents to watch. I love observing little flocks of plovers scampering around in the tide. And there's one sanderling looking right back at you! In my shop

Sanderlings are known for chasing waves as they roll in & out from shore. On this day the water was calm. Presquile Park

"This is the little sandpiper that runs up and down the beach 'like a clockwork toy,' chasing the receding waves. Plumper and more active than most small sandpipers, and quite pale at most times of year, a good match for dry sand. Sanderlings nest only in limited areas of the far north, but during migration and winter they are familiar sights on coastal beaches all over the world."
