These little guys run as fast as they fly. Those little legs can really move.

If you give them enough space between you and the incoming surf a parade will run by.

The trick is to get the shot, and have the right lens. A big heavy long lens is an unwieldy problem.

Sanderling hunt for tiny worms under the sand.

They have a really special trick. They tap a foot, quickly, on the surface. This can cause the worm to move. Once they see it…

Beautiful birds! Yes, they run very fast and they are fun to watch them.
Wonderful photographs, Ted!
Thanks. Taken with the ‘too long’ lens I complained about LOL. I’m not sure my mid-sized would have worked well enough though.
