A Gathering of Dunlin

A gathering of Dunlin – These Dunlins seemed to be resting before continuing to look for dinner. The late afternoon sun cast wonderful shadows of their small bodies.

Resting Dunlin

Resting Dunlin – As we drove along the Padre Island National Seashore we encountered many Dunlin.  This resting Dunlin was taking a break after an afternoon of chasing the surf and probing the sand for food.
