Feathered Fluff

This chubby little sanderling (Calidris alba) caught my eye at Gulfport, Mississippi—plump, poised, and perfectly beachbound.

"A small shorebird stands poised on coarse sand, its delicate frame balanced atop slender black legs. This is a sanderling, captured in a moment of quiet stillness. Its plumage is a soft mosaic: the underside and face are clean white, while the back and wings are mottled with earthy browns and pale grays, like wind‑brushed dunes. The feathers appear slightly tousled, as if the bird has just stepped out of a gusty shoreline breeze.

Its beak is short, straight, and black—perfect for probing wet sand in search of tiny invertebrates. The bird’s posture is alert but unhurried, angled slightly forward as if considering its next step or listening to the rhythm of the tide. The background is a wash of sandy texture, sunlit and grainy, with no water in sight but the coast clearly implied. The overall mood is one of quiet resilience—a creature built for motion, pausing just long enough to be seen." - Microsoft Copilot

Dune-Top Drama

This little sanderling (Calidris alba) was darting along the crest of a low sand dune at Holly Beach, Louisiana—quick-footed and wind-kissed, tracing the edge between land and sea.

"A single sanderling (Calidris alba) strides across a sunlit stretch of sandy beach, its tiny black legs moving with quick, purposeful steps. The bird’s plumage is a delicate blend of white and mottled brown, with a snowy underside and a patterned back that echoes the textures of sand and shell. Its short, straight black beak points downward, poised for foraging, as if mid-thought or mid-search.

The foreground reveals a small object—perhaps a shell or pebble—partially buried in the sand, adding a tactile anchor to the scene. Behind the bird, the background softens into a blur of pale gold and silver, suggesting wet sand or distant water. The light is warm and low, casting a gentle glow that outlines the bird’s form and gives the entire image a quiet, contemplative mood.

The sanderling appears both solitary and assured, a coastal wanderer navigating the edge of land and sea with instinctive grace. The photograph, signed “© Swede’s Photographs,” captures a fleeting moment of motion and stillness, where the beach becomes a stage and the bird its quiet performer." - Microsoft Copilot

Au centre de la photo, un bécasseau sanderling en plumage internuptial (plumage majoritairement blanc avec le dessus des ailes gris argenté avec un effet écaillé) de profil montrant son côté gauche. Il est en train d'avancer dans une fine couche d'eau qui renvoie son reflet comme un miroir. La lumière est douce et donne à l'eau des coloris argentés. L'ambiance est paisible.

Five little sandpipers run across a beach as foamy waves lap behind them.

Knowing and Not Knowing

I spent hours photographing small sandpipers at 7-Mile Island Beach without needing to name them perfectly.

The tiny drama on the shoreline

At the beach of Oranjezon in Zeeland, I stumbled into a miniature comedy act starring two birds with very different personalities. In Dutch we call them a Steenloper and a Drieteenstrandloper — but internationally they’re known as the Ruddy Turnstone (Arenaria interpres) and the Sanderling (Calidris alba).

The Turnstone was doing its usual business: flipping over shells and stones with impressive determination, searching for hidden snacks. But right behind it — practically glued to its tail — the Sanderling trotted along, refusing to be shooed away. The back-and-forth between them felt like watching a feathered version of the Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote, tiny legs moving at ridiculous speeds.

Photographically, this was a fun challenge. A dark grey day, the sea rolling in behind them, and me lying low with the Canon 5D Mark IV and Sigma 100–400mm at 400mm. Because of the poor light I had to work with a slower shutter speed (1/250s). Tracking two hyperactive birds at that focal length is like trying to thread a needle in a storm — but somehow it worked. The legs slightly blurred just enough to show their speed, while the birds themselves stayed sharp.

I’m honestly proud of this one. A little slice of nature, comedy, and chaos — exactly as it happened on that windy Zeeland beach.

Regroupés au centre de la photo, trois oiseaux limicoles : un bécasseau sanderling au plumage internuptial (ventre blanc et ailes d'un joli gris argenté), entouré par deux grands gravelots (ventre blanc, dos brun clair, collier sombre). Ils sont regroupés sur une petite bande de vase couverte d'algues plus ou moins sèches, au milieu d'une eau peu profonde à effet de miroir. dans le fond, on voit des herbes hautes et sombres. Le bécasseau a les plumes des ailes légèrement ébouriffées, ce qui fait ressortir leur effet d'écailles. La luminosité est douce, la photo a été prise en fin d'après midi tandis que le soleil avait déjà disparu derrière les collines à l'Ouest.

Dune Runner

It’s always a delight to watch sanderlings (Calidris alba) dash along the shoreline—chasing retreating waves and scampering away as they surge forward again.

Here, a lone sanderling races across the crest of a low dune at Holly Beach, Louisiana.

"A single sanderling—a small shorebird with a snowy white underside and soft brown-gray plumage—dashes across the crest of a low dune at the beach. Its slender black legs blur in motion, a rapid-fire rhythm that gives the impression of weightless urgency. The bird’s beak, thin and pointed, tilts slightly downward as if scanning the sand for secrets or offerings.

The dune itself is pale and smooth, its sandy surface kissed by wind and time. It rises gently, like a soft wave frozen mid-gesture, offering the sanderling a momentary stage. Behind the bird, the ocean stretches out in a blur of gentle blues and silvers, its waves subdued and distant, like a murmuring chorus.

The background is softly out of focus, allowing the sanderling to shine in crisp detail—its feathers catching the light, its posture alert and purposeful. The entire scene feels like a fleeting ceremony: the bird’s dash across the dune a sovereign act, brief and brilliant, against the vast hush of sea and sky." - Microsoft Copilot

I love the soft pastel colors that come out just after sunset. This Sanderling was feeding along the coast, running back and forth with the tide as they do.
