Bouncy peeps
On these chilly winter days, how do sandpipers deal with the cold?
 |
| We were shivering, in our jackets and scarves, double gloves, warm boots, and the hoods over our tuques. |

| The sanderling* has no warm socks. |
Following the flocks of sandpipers along the shore, I noticed something different about the way they moved. Watch:
*An adult sanderling weighs between 1.4 and 3.5 ounces. The legs are about as thick as a pencil lead. Not much bulk for holding the heat!

That was sweet! Love the music accompaniment, too.
A fun little video watching them pop around to that music!!! Love the first scenic picture ... great colours.
