Semipalmated Plovers are visual hunters. They run a few steps, pause, and then lunge at prey on the ground, grabbing smaller prey or pulling at worms much as robins do. They

nest in arctic tundra and forage in mudflats, agricultural fields, river margins, sewage ponds, and lakeshores. Semi-palmated Plovers roost in marshes or on beaches.

 

Thanks to all who take the time to view, comment on and favor my images. It is very much appreciated.

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Jeremiah 29:11
