Description
Photo taken in Grand Cayman Island near the harbor in Georgetown.
Ruddy Turnstone is a wading bird classified as a sandpiper. They are high Arctic breeders, and are migratory. These chunky powerful birds have strong necks and bills well suited to their feeding technique. As the name implies, these species readily turn stones or seaweed looking for hidden invertebrates. They are strictly coastal, preferring stony beaches to sand, and are often found with other waders such as Purple Sandpipers.
