Snowy Plover (Charadrius nivosus) - San Diego, CA
One of our main objectives of this trip was to photograph Snowy Plovers. We worked hard to find them as we basically had to walk all the way to Mexico to find these cute little ping pong balls with legs!
We found them on the Tijuana border and we found 50 of them and boy were they cute. It was a moment where you just lay down on the beach and they ran all around you as you stayed still. Definitely a moment I won't ever forget. I can't get over how cute they are. The protection for them down there is quite impressive, fish and wildlife drive around and monitor the birds and areas are all roped off where they nest as they are threatened birds. We had border control flying over us constantly by helicopter and Fish and Wildlife on the ground, so those birds are in good hands.
