Standing tall on slender legs, with a gracefully curved bill and a surprisingly rich plumage, the dunlin is a shorebird that belies its unassuming name. Found along coastlines and wetlands worldwide, this "tiny testament to resilience" is a champion of long-distance travel, a master of disguise, and a vital indicator of healthy ecosystems. From its remarkable migratory journeys to its cryptic camouflage techniques, the dunlin holds a story waiting to be explored. Look for this migration champion on the mudflats at Bombay Hook NWR.
