Black Turnstone
Arenaria melanocephala

It seemed to be getting food from the barnacles, though I am uncertain whether it was the barnacles themselves, something between the barnacle shells, or something within barnacle shells that were no longer inhabited by barnacles.

Location: Sage Beach, Sitka, Alaska
