A Western Sandpiper (Calidris mauri) trying to avoid the talons of a Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus). (It worked!) Photographed 11 July 2015 at Salmon Creek Beach.
Earlier in the day I watched a large flock of Western Sandpipers flying over the tidal flats in Bodega Harbor. You can see why they stick together!
