Dunlin Coming Into Alternate Plumage

            Calidris alpina,
Cayucos, California

This species is so drab gray in basic plumage and so noteworthy in alternate plumage. Regretfully, along the central coast of California we seldom get to see them close with that bright plumage before they migrate north to breed.
