Dunlin & Least Sandpiper
Feeding on aquatic invertebrates and insects living in the moss, a Least Sandpiper (Calidris minutilla), on the left, and a Dunlin (Calidris alpina) share a space to feed. The Least Sandpiper is the world's smallest shorebird.
This aquatic buffet is on the rock jetty at Oregon Inlet on Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge.
