Geam Liang Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Outer Banks, NC (somewhere between Kitty Hawk and Hatteras - sorry, it was 6 years ago) late Jul/earl Aug 2013.

Near this beach is a signage that indicated that the area is a 'Bird Use Area' and is off limits to all and one of the listed bird is the Piping Plover … heck, I'll insert the signage.

egosnell2002 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) Sanderling. One of the few shorebirds of their size with a longer, straight black bill. Overall, sanderling are very pale, and they have a very noticeable white stripe in the base of the primary and secondaries (when they fly).
