Double-banded Plover

So friends, let me tell you about this little Double-banded Plover. I know you can't wait for the lesson. These birds breed in New Zealand. They migrate to Australia during the summer for the yummy little insects that they find on our beaches. They usually only get to the Eastern States beaches. This ilittle one arrived in Two Rocks north of Perth much to the delight of mad birders. I went to find it with my buddy. It wasn't hard. There it was on the dog beach running and flying up and down the beach as Alsations, joggers, my friend Bill and others bounded up and down energetically. I sat down and didn't move and the little bird came right up to me, looked me in the eye and took a bow. I bow to you too Double-banded Plover.
