egosnell2002 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Sanderling. I didn't realize that they'd moult into their breeding plumage so early! Is it okay? Looks like it's sitting weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Friedman Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 In the comparative-anatomy sense, it's standing on its feet, with the toe and heel touching the sand (for anyone who didn't know that). I've seen pictures of other shorebirds in that position, but I'll take your word that it's unusual for Sanderlings, and BNA doesn't even mention it. After some searching, I did manage to find a picture. http://shutterstock.puzzlepix.hu/kep/1274356702 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
