A piping plover, moving away from the camera, flops around with its left wing up and its right wing out and touching the beach, pretending to be injured. Photo was taken from a respectful distance with a telephoto lens, and I was not near its nesting area, which happened to be near a path where people walk on the beach.
In the #BirdOfTheDay category of Best Performance by a Shorebird with #WingsOpenNotFlying here’s a piping plover pretending it is injured to lure me away from its chicks in an open nest on the beach. #birds #birdphotography #plovers #shorebirds #BirdOscars #ECK 🪶

Watch your step on the Oregon dunes, it's snowy plover nesting season 💛🐦
Seasonal restrictions are in place from March 15–September 15 on beaches where snowy plovers nest.

The Kentish plovers are taking up positions to begin nesting on the Mediterranean beaches.
This male is wearing a GPS tracking device that we equipped him with in the spring of 2025. We are looking forward to learning about his movements since then!

Shells and natural debris are essential for beach-nesting birds www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti.... Collecting or stacking them may be fun, even creative, but leaving the sand bare reduces the opportunities for these birds to nest in this habitat. #plovers #shorebirds #waders

#ValentinesDay is just days away, and we’re continuing our series of reimagined love-song covers to show some love for #plovers. Next up: originally recorded by Bruce Cockburn and later covered by The Barenaked Ladies, here’s “Plovers in a Dangerous Time.”
And a dangerous time it is indeed.
Federal officials are reviewing an emergency order to protect endangered Piping Plovers at Wasaga Beach as environmental groups warn planned mechanical raking could devastate Ontario’s most vital nesting site.

Before the big snow hit, I had a flock of 35 Eurasian Golden Plovers (Pluvialis apricaria) in a farm field. A bit uncommon in mid-winter. In the sunshine they look very tawny around the head and neck and they have white underwings. #BirdingHungary #waders #shorebirds #plovers #WaderWednesday

A male Killdeer, a type of Plover, standing in a puddle at the edge of a parking lot next to mud with small stones and grasses behind him. The bird's normal colors are brownish-tan on top and white below. The white chest is barred with two black bands, and the brown face is marked with black and white patches. They have a bright orange-buff rump. The eyes are dark with a bright red eye ring. Seen during the spring nesting season at Parker River NWR in Newbury, Massachusetts (Plum Island). The Killdeers had built a nest in the middle of a small, open parking lot and the female was on the nest, which had been roped off by the staff.
For the first #BODT theme of the year of bird captures in mono, this male Killdeer was focused on guarding his mate in a nest nearby (Parker River NWR, Newbury, MA - June 2025) 😍💕
