Observation details
Wow! Parent and 3 chicks came racing across the sand right in my field of view, headed from the nesting site to the surf. I gave a wide berth (and good thing, too, as the parent chased off a Sanderling that got too close!) and watched the family forage together. Breathtaking and magical. Encountered another trio of chicks with both parents further down the beach; mom and dad were chasing off a Great Black-Backed Gull with the help of a Least Tern!
