Wandering Tattler

Description:

A characteristic bird of the rocky Pacific Coast, the Wandering Tattler can be seen bobbing and teetering among the rocks and waves during winter and migration. Some individuals spend the summer along the southern part of the range rather than go with the rest of the birds to their breeding grounds in the mountains of Alaska and northwestern Canada.

Habitat:

Rocky tide pool.

Notes:

I was very happy to see two of these guys while visiting a tide pool. One came within 15 feet!
