Sanderling

Sanderlings are common winter visitors to Hawaii and are found mostly on the many beaches here. I saw a couple at Hapuna, probing the sand around a lagoon left by the floods earlier this year.

They’re very pretty. Are they very big? It looks about 200mm tall and maybe 300 from beak to tail.

  It’s not a big bird, more like 200mm beak to tail.

  They are cute, zipping around the water’s edge as they do.

      It can be tricky to get them in focus when they scoot around like that.
