Peeps are the world’s tiniest Sandpipers.
They weigh 3/4 of an ounce and stand just a couple inches tall.
They run speedily along the beach like frenetic tiny housekeepers, catching all sorts of little crabs to eat.
Here they are politely sharing a sandcrab lunch!
You can see how tiny they are in comparison to a Western Gull and a Godwit Sandpiper.
These peeps are Western Sandpipers.
They winter along the California coast and breed in Alaska and Siberia.
These constantly busy little birds are super entertaining to watch.
Cheers to you from California’s winter peeps~
