5 facts about Sanderlings: Your familiar Beach Sandpiper!
Рет қаралды 5,753
Күн бұрынArtic summer nesting Sanderling Sand pipers are found on beaches worldwide and may migrate up to six thousand miles. They are a familiar site to beach goers around the world. With boundless energy and speed they run back and forth in front of waves as they forage the rich wave-break zone as they move up and down the beach with the tides. They are so fun to watch as they run down the beach with a receding wave and run back up the beach with next incoming wave. In this video I describe five amazing facts about the biology of these energetic and amazing birds.

Took a weekend trip down to the Texas coast recently and fell in love with the sanderlings there. I could easily spend the whole day watching them.

When I lived near the water I used to love watching these birds running on the beach. It was entertaining to watch them doge the waves and the way they run so cute. The calms were interesting to watching them bury themselves in the sand, that was great demo thank you.

I have often watch the sea birds form the beach or rocky outcroppings here in Connecticut. Sanderlings dodging waves to find food are fun to watch. Thank you for featuring them. Have a Merry Christmas!

Have you ever been to Tybee Island, GA? It’s a small residential island 12 miles outside Savannah, population around 2,500, and in summer it’s a tourist haven, but winters are great. There’s another uninhabited (by people) island, Little Tybee, where there’s wildlife and sea life to watch. You have to go out by boat, can put up a tent if you like. It’s very cool!

Always enjoy your videos! I am on the Gulf (Bay, actually) of Carrabelle, FL. I'm interested in the long black centipede looking creature in your intro as I have stepped on a couple (accidentally) and wondered what they are. Any info as to which episode to find that would be appreciated 😊 Have a Merry Christmas 🎄

Thank you! I have the American Giant...and was wondering why they kept getting on the porch or in the house...the videos explained probably damp. This house is on a slab, so that explains it! The one I accidentally stepped on, emitted a black tarry substance, the one in the house was crawling straight for my long haired dog and I scooped him up with a paper towel because I didn't want to be trying to untangle him out of the hair. Thank you again for all the info!
