Seasonal Changes in Feeding Success, Activity Patterns, and Weights of Nonbreeding Sanderlings (Calidris alba)
Seasonal changes in Sanderling (Calidris alba) feeding success, time budgets, and weights were followed throughout the nonbreeding season at Bodega Bay, California. Sanderlings spent more time roosting in fall than in winter, and in fall adults spent more time roosting than juveniles. Sanderling pre...
