Wilson's Plover is a medium sized shorebird with a flat, rather than round head and long thick bill (for a plover).
Wilson's Plovers rarely wander far from ocean coastlines.
They like to hunt in the salt flats, usually hidden among beach debris.
When compared to other plovers, the Wilson's have been confused at times, to a smaller "salt-water" Kildeer.
Took a nice long walk on the beach at Huntington Beach State Park yesterday, which was largely absent of birds. Then I spotted a little shorebird, snapped a few photos and hoped for the best. Turned out to be a lifer, Wilson's Plover. #Birds #BirdingSC #Nature #Photography #WilsonsPlover
