Colorful, inquisitive and absolutely fun to watch, the Ruddy Turnstone is a favorite shorebird. These birds - and their cousin the Black Turnstone - do exactly as the name implies. While searching for food, the turnstone will use its bill to flip rocks, shells and other debris like seaweed, looking for a morsel that could be hiding there rather than probing into the sand like other shorebirds. There’s something for everyone down by the sea.
