Description
"Willets on Florida Beach at Sunset" by Catherine Sherman.
Willets (Tringa semipalmata) are members of the sandpiper family. These shore birds forage by walking on shore, in marsh, or in shallow water, probing with its bill in mud or water, or picking items from the surface. Here they are feeding at sunset on Fort Myers Beach, which is on the Gulf of Mexico.
Also on the beach joining in the feasting are a few peeps, the Semipalmated Sandpiper
(Calidris pusilla)
