Can You ID This Bird?



San Diego has a wealth of shore birds. For the most part, I have very little idea what they are or what they eat. This little bird wandered between picking over bugs in the runoff seep and looking for critters in the wave wash. I think it is a sand piper of some sort or maybe a plover. However, I will defer to any birders in the audience. It was captivating watching him dart up to the very edge of the water and look for food only to step back to avoid getting swept out by the waves. He certainly worked hard for his meals.
