caption: The image shows a group of small birds standing on top of a sandy beach, surrounded by dried leaves and stems at the top of the image. The birds appear to be sandpipers, with their distinctive brown and white feathers and long, thin beaks. They are standing in a line, with one in the foreground and two in the background. The sand is a light tan color, and the leaves are a deep green. The stems are a mix of green and brown, and they are scattered across the beach.
