Semipalmated Plover (Charadrius semipalmatus)
This plover was on its way north to its tundra breeding grounds. A little over a week ago, it and a couple of others had made a short stopover at a small pond where my husband and I look for shore birds this time of year.
OOPS! I think it spotted me!
Perhaps you prefer this view?
I am connecting to Stewart M's Wild Bird Wednesday HERE

A drive-by in the comment above and a short layover for the plover. ;-)
Lovely bird that you spotted!
It definitely saw you! A beautiful bird.
I'm sure it was mumbling about cheeky photographers as it huffed away.
Thank you for your kindness.
Fantastic shot, I am jealous haven't seen one of those yet. I think they are shy.
You always tak fabulous birds pictures !
Lovely and well photographed.
Such a sweet little bird..
Great photos of the plover!
Great bird shots. So if this is a "semi" palmated is there a totally palmated? Do you sense my lack of bird knowledge?

Oh wow! You have wonderful pictures of this bird.
Pretty bird, love the white and the orange beak!
He sure is a cute little one!
I think you have a way with birds! Such fine photos! At first I thought you were writing about a sublimated plover and I was really anxious to find out what that was. Now, I've got to find out what the heck "semipalmated" means. I wonder if has anything to do with cheating at cards?
The detail in these shots is stunning ! Love 'em !
Another lovely bird portrait. Do you have a lot of bird books so that you and identify the birds you see?
It looks a bit miffed! lol
The PLovers are cuties! Great shots! Have a happy week!
