"Birds will give you a window, if you allow them. They will show you secrets from another world - fresh vision that, though it is avian, can accompany you home and alter your life. They will do this for you even if you don't know their names - though such knowing is a thoughtful gesture. They will do this for you if you watch them." ~ Lyanda Lynn Haupt, Rare Encounters with Ordinary Birds

Calidris alba: Sanderling
A small sandpiper commonly seen chasing waves at the waterline.
Yet another gulf bird, commonly seen these days in varying degrees of distress due to oiling.
