I’ve recently begun photographing shorebirds at Point Reyes. I’ve looked for them twice at Drakes Beach and found sanderlings and marbled godwits there. Identifying some of them, such as the various sandpipers, is proving difficult. Also difficult is identifying what they eat. I’m not sure what this one has caught. My first guess was that it had a sand flea. However, a quick search taught me that it might be a mole crab. Of course, it could be neither of those. I’ll have to get better informed as I photograph more shorebirds.
