A Sanderling’s Sand Soiree
I saw this sanderling (Calidris alba) at Holly Beach, Louisiana last year. From the angle of the photograph, it looks like a giant wave is approaching in the background. But it's really just a small wave.
"Sanderlings are easy to find on sandy beaches from fall through spring. Pick a beach with a low, gradual slope and walk along the water’s edge. Look for small shorebirds running back and forth in sync with the waves—these are likely to be Sanderlings. While other shorebirds such as plovers and Willets may feed alongside Sanderlings on these outer beaches, this is truly the Sanderling’s domain; these plucky birds often aggressively defend their feeding territories at water’s edge from other shorebirds." - allaboutbirds.org
