Marbled Godwit and Sanderlings, Monterey, California

Bob was looking back through some of his old photo folders from our trips to the Monterey area and came across this photo of a marbled godwit and sanderlings foraging through the sand of San Carlos Beach at the Coast Guard Pier in Monterey, California.  Sanderlings are fun to watch running at the edge of the surf because of how fast their little legs have to go.

Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story.

 

Marbled Godwit foraging on Monterey Beach

A marbled godwit foraging along San Carlos Beach in Monterey, California.  This shorebird uses its long bill to probe in the sand for invertebrates to feed on. We visited the coast at Monterey after a storm had stirred up the ocean and there were many shorebirds out foraging.

Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story.
