Fairly common to locally common; breeds on sandy and stony substrates from beaches and lakeshores to moorland above treeline. Winters coastally, where often roosts with other small waders such as Dunlin. Note orange legs, often bright on spring adults. Breeding plumage has bold black-and-white head and breast pattern; nonbreeding has subdued and browner pattern. In flight shows bold white wing stripe. Mellow whistled “poo-ee” call quite distinct from call of Little Ringed Plover.

The S. psittacina in these photos are floating in 3 feet of water with no substrate on the roots. in these habitats, this species commonly achieves 'giant' proportions because of year round contact with water. in these environments the pitchers of this species serve for floatation and the plants are virtually never submerged. Once and if these plants submerge in the floating environment, they will commonly sink and die unless the water covering them completely recedes. note the few pitchers that are underwater.
This site is the northernmost known occurrence of this species.
This variant has now been published as Sarracenia psittacina var. okeefenokeensis based on morphometric characters that appear to be genetically derived. Based on my field observationsof these plants in three distinct habitats throughout the southeast, i agree with this assessment. see McPherson & Schnell, Sarraceniaceae of North America, Redfern 2012.
Substrate from a landslide offers ideal hunting for a Rainbow trout. While feeding primarily from the drift, these fish are also quite good at picking out insects from the bottom.
