Sanderling birds at their eye level at Asilomar Beach in Pacific Grove California

Sanderlings a fast running shore bird that fascinate me

I have always been very curious about these funny little birds running along the shore at Asilomar Beach in Pacific Grove, California. They search along the water’s edge for food, but seem quite adverse to the water washing over their feet, so they run at an incredible fast pace, their little legs moving like a blur, to avoid getting wet! I finally learned their name, sanderlings, and had a chance to photograph them at their eye level thanks to an unusually high sand dune.

Give a print to a fan of sanderlings as a gift!
