Ruddy Turnstone

(Arenaria interpres)

Description:

Because I didn’t feel I could cross over the soft beach from the paved road onto the hard-packed sand in my van, the only birds I met at the beach were Sanderlings and Ruddy Turnstones. The sandy shores of Boca Chica Beach is nearly the southernmost point of the USA. Southern Florida is only 57 miles closer to the equator.
