Flock of Dunlins and Sanderlings at the Beach Doormat

Greet family, friends, and other visitors to your home with this whimsical, wildlife-themed welcome mat! Personalize with the family name or greeting as desired. The second time I've seen Dunlins since first spotting a small flock huddled together in their breeding plumage (with their trademark black belly patches), on a cold spring day on the Iona Jetty spit in 2010. Three were part of a larger group of 10-12, who were fraternizing with a larger flock of Sanderlings (60) and a single out-of-season Semipalmated Plover (not pictured here).
