Group of Sanderling predating Common Slipper (Crepidula fornicata) - Sunken Meadow State Park, NY
Observation details
I photographed an interesting interaction among Sanderling predating a Common Slipper (Crepidula fornicata): one Sanderling had captured a Slipper and run off with it, being chased by two Sanderling. When it stopped, all three devoured the Slipper until one of the two new ones grabbed it and ran off, with one Sanderling still chasing it. When it stopped, a third Sanderling joined them and the three finished off the Slipper.
