A Fruitful Search
I just adore snowy plovers. They are so cute and I love the way they scurry around the beach, moving back and forth with the waves searching for tidbits of food.
The biggest problem is finding them. First off, they are a threatened species, with populations continually on the decline. Second, they are difficult to spot as they are tiny and blend in well with their surroundings. Once located, they are difficult to stay with as beach walkers tend to push them away from photographers (me) as they stroll, oblivious to the little wonders at their feet.
Luckily, I found this one on a section of beach where I've seen them in this past, and I was able to photograph it on three or four different occasions. Sometimes you just have to look!
Thanks so much to everyone who takes the time to view, like or comment on my photos!
