A little [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandpiper sandpiper]]--specifically, a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanderling sanderling]]--is nestled in its mother's nest on a beach. The mother sandpiper urges the little chick out of the nest and teaches it to forage for clams, an experience that turns bad when the inexperienced chick is pummeled by a wave. The chick quakes with fear at going out on the beach again, until some helpful crabs show it a trick.
Played in theaters in advance of the Pixar feature ''WesternAnimation/FindingDory''.
