⁣Must love beaches…⁣ ⁣ About me:⁣⁣ I like long walks up the beach and down the beach and up the beach and down the beach...and up the beach and down the beach.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ Description…⁣⁣ I’m often described as a small plump sandpiper. I can also be identified by my build and dark bill.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ My simple pleasures…⁣⁣ I like to frolic back and forth on the beach. Some say it’s obsessive, I say it shows commitment. I also enjoy picking and probing for tiny prey in the wet sand left by receding waves. Good times. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ What makes me stand out? ⁣⁣ Given a good view, you may notice the lack of a hind toe. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ This year, I really want…⁣⁣ More beach time.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ How my parents met? ⁣⁣ The beach. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I won’t shut up about…⁣⁣ The beach. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Best advice I ever received?⁣⁣ Just keep walking.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣Image: Sanderling sprinting on the beach at @gulfislandsnps NPS /Doggrell.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #sanderling #birds #birdsofinstagram #gulfislandsnationalseashore #beachlife #nationalparkservice
