The Black Turnstone is one of the defining species for the rocky, wave-battered Pacific Coast. It blends in well with the dark rocks, but a careful winter observer will find it from Alaska through Baja California. It is rarely found far from the vicinity of spraying waves.
Beautiful feather patterns
They are very well-camouflaged on the shoreline
On a previous trip into Prince William Sound we came across this lone Ruddy Turnstone sitting among hundreds of Black Turnstones.
