Ruddy Turnstone Arenaria interpres at Brigantine
10,000 Birds

It has an enormous range, occurring in such far-flung locales as New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Alaska, Greenland, and Brazil, to name just a few.

Either that, or I see them in spring with hordes of other shorebirds feeding on the eggs of Horseshoe Crabs.
