Ruddy Turnstones in Antigua...

Ruddy Turnstone
(Arenaria interpres)
This is another favourite bird of mine when I have been in the Caribbean islands.  I see them in Canada as they migrate through the Great Lakes, but they are not easy to get close to.   In the Caribbean island they are over-wintering and not so skittish at all.   You can get close to them and although they are not as distinctive as they are in breeding plumage in the far north, they are still very distinctive and attractive, especially those bright orange legs.
Please comment if you wish.
