Coastal Watch, Part 3 - Winter Shorebirds

On a winter outing to Halibut Point you might encounter little shorebirds wading along the water's edge or scrambling over mossy rocks at low tide. They will most likely be one of the two species here at this time of year. Their perky animation in this vast and challenging environment sets a fine tone for two-legged creatures on the edge of comfort.
