Lunch Time on The Beach


On the beach today I came upon a group of sanderlings and little sandpipers looking for lunch as each wave left the shore. They eat tiny invertebrates buried in the sand.


The sanderlings, in the background, stalk along the shore with dignity, but the little sandpipers, in the foreground, run, stiff-legged, so fast their little legs are a blur. Dennis has always called them “race cars.” They always bring a smile.
