Tbe only shorebirds we saw at the Westport Light State Park on 26 August 2019 were a few Sanderlings. As I have recently written, this species, after breeding in the Arctic, is common along coasts of the world. One way to identify them is to note their habit of running on the beach from on-coming waves, and then chasing the water as it flows back into the ocean—all the while hoping for some some hapless crustacean to poke its head out of the uncovered sand.
