This little guy is known as a Sanderling. He (she?) is about the same size as a sparrow; however notice the longer beak for digging in the sand, and all three of his toes point forward. Sanderlings chase the waves out, and run from them when they come in, all the while looking for food. Because of the way their toes are configured they run in an odd manner, and they run all the time. I had a really difficult time getting this one to pose.
