Alan's theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #Migratory.

I have attached a photo of a #PipingPlover. A plover that spends the winter on the Southern East Coast of America, then migrates to the Northern East Coast & to the Northern central parts of USA & Southern central Parts of Canada.

I'll go with the alternate #birdoftheday theme of #birdsyoulove. Nesting #pipingPlover. Very long lens. Endangered. I once did surveys on them and setup remote surveillance systems for their nest activity in Keji. #bird #birds #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #sonyalpha #a7rv

Piping Plover posing in the early morning sunlight Sandy Point in Plum Island, Massachusetts.

Haven't posted in a while, but in reviewing this year's pics, this is definitely one of my favorites! Nice little Piping Plover taking a break from feeding along the shoreline to warm up in the early morning golden light!

LOOK AT THIS RIDICULOUS LITTLE GUY! #birds #bird #pipingplover

A young Piping Plover hunkers down on the beach in warm early-morning light. The bird's in profile; it has an all-black bill and soft brown coloring.

Another piping plover picture -- I have *many* from the summer of Imani, Sea Rocket, and Nagamo -- while I decide what theme I want to do next. #chicago #birdphotography #pipingplover #photographersofbluesky

In May, Ontario proposed selling 650 acres, including 60% of the shoreline of #WasagaBeach Provincial Park.

This threatened area is the nesting ground of the endangered #pipingplover, a bird that only recently returned to Ontario after being absent for more than 20 years.
