Observation details
Very approachable on land to within ten feet allowing for pictures. But even more so in the water. I was able to swim alongside the Sanderling as it fed along the waters edge sometimes within four feet of the bird. It was oblivious to my presence and never flushed. Very, very cool. Photo attached:
