A stop at McKinley Beach in Milwaukee Wisconsin provided some nice views of Sanderlings. They fed along the algae mat in the beach area. A stunning shorebird species close up that moved quickly along the beach area. Images were taken on September 3, 2017.

I remember first seeing these birds in winter along the California coast. They were in constant motion, running back and forth in front of the incoming waves. From your photos, it looks like they have more than one foraging technique. Thanks for showing me that.
