Sanderling

Outer Banks, NC

These little wind-up toys were THE common shorebird of the sandy beaches. This molting adult is showing a good contrast between the fresh new gray basic (winter) feathers and the just visible and worn dark alternate (summer) feathers on the scapulars still showing chestnut.
