The Ruddy Turnstone - arenaria interpres
Is a small shorebird known for its distinctive plumage and behavior. It has a stocky body, short legs, and a straight bill that is slightly upturned at the tip. During the breeding season, adults have striking orange-brown and black patterns on their upperparts, while their underparts are white. In contrast, non-breeding adults exhibit a more subdued and mottled grayish-brown appearance.

Habitat
Ruddy Turnstones are typically found along rocky shorelines, coastal beaches, estuaries, and mudflats. They are distributed across various regions, including North America, Europe, Asia, and parts of Africa and South America.

Migration
These birds are migratory and undertake long journeys between their breeding grounds in the Arctic and wintering sites in temperate and tropical regions. They can often be seen migrating in flocks along coastlines.

Behavior
Ruddy Turnstones are very active foragers. They use their bills to flip over stones, shells, and other debris in search of food, primarily insects, crustaceans, mollusks, and plant material. Their foraging behavior and agility make them particularly well-adapted to their coastal environments.

Breeding
During the breeding season, Ruddy Turnstones typically nest on the ground, often in low-lying areas that are camouflaged by vegetation. The female usually lays 3 to 5 eggs, and both parents are involved in incubating the eggs and caring for the chicks.

Conservation Status
The Ruddy Turnstone is currently classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, but like many shorebird species, it faces threats from habitat loss, climate change, and human disturbance. Conservation efforts are essential to protect their breeding and wintering habitats.
