This group of Sanderlings were finding these really long sand worms. Once a bird brought one up the pack would attack and try to take it.

Canon R7, Canon 600mm f/4 II IS, ISO 640, 1/2000 @ f/6.3.

I almost feel sorry for the worm, its being stretched every which way, Terry! A great behaviour capture!
