Whimbrels (Numenius phaeopus), belonging to the sandpiper family (Scolopacidae), search for food along California's Central Coast. Their downward curving bills, reaching 75 mm in length, are highly sensitive and are used to find and dig up small crustaceans in the sand. The whimbrel is one of the most widespread shorebirds of the world. | |
