Description
This is a Semipalmated Sandpiper. These bird breed up in northern Canada and are a common migrant in eastern and central Canada and United States.
This photograph was taken at Dekorte Park which is located in New Jersey by New York City. Dekorte Park has a series of trails that you can walk out on and observe the birds on the water. I walked out and sat down at the edge of the trail and waited for a group of Sandpipers to work their way over to where I was. As they worked their way over to where I was, I was taking pictures of them feeding and chasing each other, and this was one of the photos taken, In the picture, the two spurts of water are worms in the sand blowing water out of their holes. These worms are what the sandpipers eat.
