Calidris alba
The winter bird is very pale; almost white except for the dark shoulder patch.
It is a circumpolar Arctic breeder, and is a long-distance migrant, wintering south to South America, South Europe, Africa, and Australia

I love these birds - I've only seen them once, & that was in the Galapagos!
Great pictures Ashley!
Once you take photo's of birds yourself then you realize how difficult it can be. Great series and well done on the close ups!! ;)
Great series Ashley!

Sweet little guys.
