To migrate, shorebirds need a lot of energy. They get it by eating, until they sometimes double in weight.

Bird 8. Dunlin.
Don't tell the other birds but my favorite group of birds is the shorebirds group. They use that long bill to probe mud for bugs to eat. They are also SUPERPOWEREd BECAUSE their bill is so sensitive they can find bugs via TOUCH! They can forage at NIGHT!
