Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus) Status: Near Threatened
Little round Piping Plovers hide in plain sight on sandy ocean and lake shores, blending right in with their sandy gray backs. It's not until they scurry down the sand on their orange legs that you're likely to spot these big-eyed shorebirds with a sharp black collar and an orange bill. They nest in soft sand away from the water's edge along the Atlantic Coast, Great Plains, and Great Lakes. They are endangered due to habitat loss, disturbance, and predation.
Piping Plovers are on the U.S. endangered species list, so if you see one don't get too close. If one starts frantically calling or feigning injury, back away carefully as there may be an almost invisible nest nearby - AllAboutBirds.org

🔴 El F-104 Starfighter que tiene el Ala 12 en la plataforma de Torrejón es una absoluta preciosidad. Visto desde este ángulo a través del 600mm se acentúa la ligera curvatura hacia arriba de la parte posterior de la turbina.
🔵 F-104 Starfighter that 12th Wing has in Torrejón is an absolute beauty. Viewed from this angle through the 600mm, the slight upward curvature of the rear of the fuselage is accentuated.
