HEWO EVERYPONY
[ID: A detail of a sketchbook page showing three study drawings in marker, two of an Atlantic horseshoe crab and one of a Rufa red knot in breeding plumage
The crabs are flat, with a dome-like shell the shape of a horseshoe covering much of their head and abdomen. The thorax is slightly smaller with spikes to the sides, which then leads to the long, spine-like tail. Only one is colored, it is pale brown.
The red knot is a sandpiper-like bird; with a compact and almost mango-shaped body and a long, black beak. The dorsal feathers are a light gray peppered with a darker color, which then turn to bars at the wings. The inner face and belly of the bird are a pale, reddish brown. End description.]

Sanderling, still in winter plumage, because I have taken these pictures in February in Portugal, at the shore of the Tejo river South of Lisboa. I wonder if the sanderlings stayed there or if they migrated to the North.

Recent birds: Least sandpiper / playero diminuto (Calidris minutilla). 
This one is more mudpiper than sandpiper. I love its Spanish name. 
At Whitewater Draw, Cochise County, Arizona.

a few pictures i snapped of some sanderlings (calidris alba) on a beach in naples, florida. i was lucky enough to catch them hunting for food! the crustaceans that they're eating are atlantic mole crabs (emerita talpoida).
sanderlings nest exclusively in the high arctic canadian islands, but spend their falls and winters on sandy beaches all around the world. some populations live as far north as southern alaska, nova scotia and newfoundland, while others travel much farther south to south america. though their preferred diet consists of marine invertebrates such as small crabs, mollusks, and amphipods, they may also feed on small flying insects or plants such as grass seeds or algae.
sanderlings are primarily monogamous, but the mating system may differ from year to year. monogamous sanderling pairs will stick together no matter where they are (love wins!). during both migration and wintering periods, sanderlings may form flocks with other small shorebirds like willets and sandpipers and they'll roost in massive flocks of thousands of birds at a time!
