It was a gorgeous day to take a walk on Nauset Light Beach and so windy! I walked down the beach toward Marconi and then just decided to sit in the sand and just enjoy the moment… or two…or three… (Click on blog link for other photographs.)
And then I saw these little Sanderlings scurrying along the beach right in front of me. I got my camera out and clicked away. I have not seen any Sanderlings all summer, so this was a big treat.
Such a cute little bird, don’t you think? Keep a lookout on the beaches as they often with spend the winter here.
Long bills, long legs – are they looking for food or, in the last photo, nesting in the sand like piping plovers?
I think they’re looking for food as I think it’s late in the season for chicks.
