Snowy Plover


This morning we decided to go to the Gulf Beach and look for Snowy Plovers. We knew a spot where they had been in the past and as luck would have it there just happened to be two snowy plovers feeding on the beach. This is one of four different species of small plovers wintering in SW Florida. Characteristic of the Snowy Plover is a pale sandy back, partial neck ring, black bill, and gray legs. They are in constant motion on the beach so photographing one is always a challenge!
