Sanderling hunting beach hoppers

It''s running around at the top of the wave washed zone, where Megalorchestia californiana (beach hoppers) are often exposed as waves displace the piles of wrack, collections of sea algae and sea grass you can see to the left of the Sanderling. That's what Megalorchestia californiana eat.
