Lil peep at Dunlins!
Dunlins are a small shorebird found along our coasts during the winter. When they are here dunlins are in their non-breeding plumage and can look similar to other shorebirds upon a quick glance. Identifying shorebirds on the beach can seem overwhelming and tedious but a great way to get better at shorebird ID is taking photos of the groups of birds and comparing the birds later. Another helpful tool is using a scope or more powerful binoculars that allow you to get a great view of the bird!
