Sorry, but the thumbnail alone is a huge flop: terns are not shorebirds (waders), neither are e.g. gulls, who technically can often be spotted along a shoreline. Only suborders _Charadrii_ and _Scolopaci_ are classified under this term. Plovers, lapwings, sandpipers, shanks, etc.

My thoughts on your commentary are backed up with my studies in biology, which I hold as a university degree. Firstly, the purpose of this video was not intended as a lesson in scientific taxonomy, but merely a video for bird lovers to enjoy. All images were gathered from an enormous amount of rigorous hours in the field of observation and photography along the Atlantic coast of the U.S. for many years.
Let me remind you the term shorebird is an overall /collective somewhat generic word for species of birds that frequent coastal habitats who belong to the order Charadriiformes. Many field guides and ornithological books will take this diverse group of avians along with the subspecies you mentioned and refer to them as shorebirds in print.
Also, I am aware the some of the species in the video from the family Laridae are also seabirds which can be regarded as shorebirds.
For further information I suggest websites with content from Cornell Lab of Ornithology , Audubon, or biological academic studies from JSTOR .
Thank you for your commentary, Pamela Cohen

I see, thanks for the explanation. English is not my first language, as you can probably tell. Therefore I might not have been privy to all its intricacies, especially with regards to all the possible meanging of the word 'shorebirds'. 🙂@@pamelacohen3220
