Push & Pull -- Every Day the Same Thing

 
Posted by Picasa

It is the duty of these two fellows to push out and pull up the tide every day. Twice a day, ackshully. The one in the lead is the resident union rep. He gets to shove around the other sanderlings and "least" sandpipers. These guys are so bold they run along beside you about six feet away and won't give up their claim to the shore till you clumsily come too close, which is seldom. I left nothing in the shot for scale though. Sorry.
So how tall are they? They're about four inches high. I'm working on a scale that is more internationally clear than "inch". How about "pulgada". Es decir: Quatro. Quatro pulgadas.
