Snowy Plover Reflecting by Debra Martz It is that time of year, 1st of November, when I start going to the beach in search of the winter migrating birds. Saw several varieties of gulls and terns, willets, sanderlings and though I only saw one plover, I was pleased to see this tiny Snowy Plover. They give you the run for your money...because that is what they do so well...run the beach back and forth, while quickly poking their beak in the sand in search of food.

Crowned plover/lapwing (Vanellus coronatus), in Amboseli National Park, Kenya, East Africa. This species has a preference for marshes and similar freshwater wetland habitats. The food of the Spur-winged Lapwing is insects and other invertebrates, which are picked from the ground.

Piping Plover

some birds from a lake view, bird heaven.

Here is my plein air study of lily pads I did with watercolors at Plover Lake. It was a beautiful day to paint sitting on the bank of the lake at the James A. Reed Wildlife Area using my pocket field sketch box of water colors. I added the white lily blooms with acrylic paint. A fisherman has lost his line and bobber as it got tangled around the tree limb by the fish.

Piping plovers, adorable little shore birds in need of our protection.
