All of the photos in this brief series are of sanderlings (Calidris alba) at Fort Monroe National Monument in Hampton, Virginia.
The genus Calidris comprises all of the sanderlings and sandpipers, the knots and dunlins and stints. The name is derived from a description by Aristotle of a speckled gray shorebird, rendered either
καλιδρις or σκαλιδρις, though no one is really sure which bird he was referring to.
