Sanderling
Calidris alba
Breeding Sanderlings fly north in spring as far as land reaches toward the North Pole. Any land mass between 70° and 80° North Latitude might host these birds in summer. This species is circumpolar and breeds in the tundra in the High Arctic areas of North America, Greenland, Europe and Asia. Winters will find them on the coastline anywhere on the globe. There, they usually look for sandy beaches in places like South America, South Europe, Africa, and Australia. Non-breeding birds spend their summers on the wintering grounds. The breeding birds will join them when the season for procreation has completed.
Sanderlings are monotypic, meaning there are no recognized subspecies.
Endlessly entertaining to watch, we usually see Sanderlings chasing the waves along shallow, sandy beaches. They often form large flocks in their search for food such as Mole Crabs (commonly called Sand Crabs). I have spent hours watching these birds on Southern California beaches. By sitting quietly and waiting for the foraging birds to come to me. I have had better luck capturing images that way, than by running amok trying to keep up with their wanderings up and down the long sandy beaches they love.
Most of my meetings with Sanderlings have been along Southern California beaches. But I have also seen them 600 miles off the Mexican mainland on Isla Socorro and Isla San Benedicto. During my spring 2020 and 2021 expeditions to Texas, I found these birds haunting the beaches. Anywhere from Boca Chica Beach near Brownsville, to north along the Texas Gulf Coast to Corpus Christi they scurried along the sandy shoreline.

Description: Sanderlings are always entertaining to watch as they perform their run-and-stop foraging on sandy beaches. I loaded my gear on my bike and rode out on Boca Chica Beach to the mouth of the Rio Grande, where the fresh water meets the Gulf of Mexico. Here the chances to meet and observe the dynamic interaction of species are high. |

Description: Shore birds have been scarce on this trip along the Oregon and Washington coasts. This lonely Sanderling at Sekiu Bay (Washington), was a nice surprise as I was winding up my visit here. |

Sanderling(Calidris alba) |
|
Description: It seems every visit I’ve made to this beach, I meet Sanderlings and Ruddy Turnstones. A quick Saturday morning tour of Boca Chica Beach to look for Sandwich Terns yielded my first meetings with this species, plus a few others. I hope to do a better job of capturing their images if (or when) I meet them again. |
