Bird Droppings Dispatches from the nation’s birdwatching capital… by Seymore Thanu My neighbor Peter, a ranger at Corson’s Inlet State Park, informed me the other day that Sanderling were back on the beaches. Visitors know them as “sandpipers,” and delight in their wave-chasing antics. Most assume the birds nest here. Wrong on two counts. The birds breed in the High Arctic, and they deposit their eggs in shallow scrapes on the tundra. So, what are they doing here, now? Migrating. Nesting season is done for the year, these adults, still showing traces of rust-colored breeding plumage about the head and neck are heading south. Some will remain here for the winter; others may travel to the tip of South America. What determines which birds stay and which move on? Nobody knows, but Sanderlings have one of the longest and narrowest longitudinal wintering ranges on the planet, relegated as they are to sandy beaches from Long Island to Tierra del Fuego. These early arrivals are failed breeders, birds that failed to find mates or whose nesting effort ended in failure. In the Arctic, there is no time for second chances. A failed effort means an early ticket south. Next to arrive are successful breeders, one of the adult pairs. With young able to fend for themselves shortly after hatching, there is no need for both adults to guard the kids from predators. One of these pugnacious birds is enough to guard the kids from foxes, falcons and jaegers. Ma or pa call the alarm and the kids freeze, defeating hunting eyes with their cryptic natal plumage which will be replaced by fully functional feathers in time for young to start south in August. How they know where to go and when to stop is a mystery. But this staggered migration means that adults and young can use the same migratory stop-over sites and not compete for food. So, as you marvel at these tireless bundles of energy racing along the beach, now you have just one more marvel to contemplate. Imagine flying nonstop from Baffin Island and still have energy to race down the beach. As much a part of the shore experience as surf and salt laden air, the birds of the Jersey shore continue to delight our senses, kindle our imaginations, and serve as subjects on coasters, place mats, dish towels and lamp shades. So, the next time you contemplate those tiny sandpipers, appreciate them for the wonders they are, birds whose wings knit hemispheres and grace us with their presence for a few weeks every summer as they travel to and from the ends of the earth.
