Although Surfbirds are well known for feeding among rocks, they're less often seen foraging in soft sediments.
The Surfbirds sometimes had their entire bills buried in the sand (see below)!
After feeding on mussels among the rocks, and then adding crabs from the beach, it's as if the Surfbirds were partaking in a bit of bouillabaisse!

I recently saw black turnstones doing the same thing at Point Reyes.
Saw same behavior in Humboldt county recently. I wonder if it is tied to their migration soon?
