A ruddy turnstone (Arenaria interpres), a type of sandpiper, stands on a rock jetty, April 28, 2022, in Dauphin Island, Alabama. The ruddy turnstone is named for both its flashy coloring and its tendency to forage in the surf, turning over rocks, shells, and small stones in search of food. (Photo by Carmen K.
