Did you know? Sanderlings Dec 18 2007

Sanderlings (Calidris alba) are one of the most widespread of all shore birds, being found on almost every shore in the world.

Sanderlings nest in the Arctic tundra in the northern hemisphere summer and migrate south to spend southern hemisphere summers on sandy beaches.
