Arenaria interpres
Bright orange legs, white underside, black upper chest and a calico back. Interesting black and white pattern on the face. Color indicates that they are breeding adults.
Santa Rosa Island, a barrier island of northern Gulf of Mexico. White quartz sand with sea oats, bitter panicgrass and beach elder, which help to stabilize the shifting sand.
Handsome little birds. They were keenly interested in the seaweed that had washed up on the shore.
