Description
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology states that, "the Sanderling’s black legs blur as it runs back and forth on the beach, picking or probing for tiny prey in the wet sand left by receding waves." . . . which I found to be an extremely accurate description of these little persistent guys.
" Sanderlings are medium-sized “peep” sandpipers recognizable by their pale nonbreeding plumage, black legs and bill, and obsessive wave-chasing habits... . . These extreme long-distance migrants breed only on High Arctic tundra, but during the winter they live on most of the sandy beaches of the world." https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Sanderling/id
I found many of these adorable hunters along the Florida beach in Panama City.
