Artic summer nesting Sanderling Sand pipers are found on beaches worldwide and may migrate up to six thousand miles. They are a familiar site to beach goers around the world. With boundless energy and speed they run back and forth in front of waves as they forage the rich wave-break zone as they move up and down the beach with the tides. They are so fun to watch as they run down the beach with a receding wave and run back up the beach with next incoming wave. In this video I describe five amazing facts about the biology of these energetic and amazing birds.
