Playing a unique role in beach ecology, Sanderlings are the only shorebirds which actively pursue waves as they roll in and out along the shoreline, feeding on the small crustaceans exposed by the receding waves.
These amazing birds are one of the world’s most widespread shorebird. Most sanderlings spend their winter in Southern California and South America, but as many as 1,000 winter here, on Clatsop beaches. They can be seen along local beaches from August to February, but abandon Oregon in May through early July to breed in the Arctic. |
