Ruddy Turnstone
Arenaria interpres
Ruddy Turnstones are found on the shores of every continent except Antarctica, breeding on lands bordering the north pole, and wintering further south, some as far as Argentina, South Africa, southern Australia and New Zealand. Turnstones use their short, upturned beaks to flip rocks and debris in search of food items. The Ruddy Turnstone breeds a little further north and winters further south than its cousin the Black Turnstone.

Description: Even before our launch these Ruddy Turnstones entertained me as I watched them foraging along the dock. My third day of exploration of Aransas NWR was a memorable one. I boarded the tour boat the "Skimmer" and got schooled by Captian Tommy Moore on a three plus hour cruise of the back-bays and waterways beyond the view of the public from the tour roads on the reserve. |

Description: Turnstones seemed comforatable in my presence and freely foraged in close proximity to me. I met these birds after my third day of exploration of Aransas NWR aboard the "Skimmer". There was still time left in the day for explorations. I found a nice place to park next to Little Bay and photograph local resident birds. |

The sandy shores of Boca Chica Beach is nearly the southernmost point of the USA. Southern Florida is only 57 miles closer to the equator. |
