Dunlin Shorebird Foraging in Shallow Wetland Waters
Sunday, April 26th, 2026 at 10:40:44 PM · 2026/Yolo Bypass Wetlands
A small shorebird, likely a Dunlin in breeding plumage with distinctive rufous and black patterned upperparts and white underparts, wades in shallow water at the water's edge. The bird is actively feeding, with its slightly decurved bill positioned near the water and muddy substrate. Behind the bird, bare twigs protrude from the calm water, creating interesting reflections. The smooth blue water and muddy foreground establish a serene wetland habitat scene captured during favorable lighting conditions.
