On Monday April 27, I posted about the horseshoe crabs laying eggs. Thursday May 7th I was out on my Thursday Morning Bird Ramble and watched in fascination as shorebirds feasted on these eggs.

Here are a bunch of Sanderling.
There were lines of Sanderlings, Dunlins, Willets, Ruddy Turnstones and a few Red Knots.









This is a Sanderling with three Dunlins Here a Red Knot enjoying the group.


They would crowd around and eat, then they would all run to the water edge splash around then run back to continue feasting. What a sight!
