May 30-2010 Flock of Sanderlings (?)on Duxbury Beach, MA
This flock of 10 (count 'em in the first photo) was foraging at the water's edge at the Gurnet "boat hole" on Duxbury Beach, MA. There is a lot of variety in these birds and they appear to all be Sanderlings. The last 3 shots show a bird with considerable reddishness on the face. This bird was in the background of all shots and thus is out of focus - I didn't notice it when shooting.
