My Favorite: Who among us isn't charmed by the sight of a group of sanderlings along a beach, scampering back and forth en masse whenever a wave comes crashing on the shoreline? We don't get to see that behavior much in South Dakota, as Sanderlings are pretty uncommon migrants here. When I do see them, it's typically a very small group. My favorite Sanderling photo does capture some of the vibe of a Sanderling though, with one here on the shores of Lake Whitewood in South Dakota, acting all casual while a wave is about to hit. From May of 2020.
