SANDERLINGS ON DELPHI BEACH, ABACO BAHAMAS
Looking back through some bird photo folders from last year, I came across these sanderlings that I photographed on the beach at Delphi. These little birds are far from rare, but watching a flock of them scuttling back and forth on the sand, in and out of the tide, is always a treat. And as you will notice, when they are foraging in earnest they not only stick their bills into the sand right up to the base… they go for total immersion of the head!

It is really fun to watch sanderlings on the beach, RH, and you did a great job of sharing all their antics. That final photo brought a smile to my face.

So small, such fun. Like wind-up birds. And as for the last one, I’d never seen a full head plunge before – though I have got a total submersion one somewhere (surprise wavelet in a tide pool)…
