Out to look for shorebirds in late November. Found some resting in the rocks at Caspersen Beach in Venice (FL).
Above is a nice Black-bellied Plover (Pluvialis squatarola) in non-breeding plumage.
What do you suppose these little birds are? Sanderlings....Western Sandpipers? I am rarely sure with peeps!

You can always flip a coin if unsure! This one says, "sandpiper!" But I'm sticking with Sanderling

Finally....an easy one! Ruddy Turnstone (Arenaria interpres).
Feel free gentle readers to correct me on any and all "peeps." Always learning on the beach.
