American Golden Plover

Habitat:

A large shorebird of pastures, open ground, and mudflats, the American Golden-Plover makes one of the longest migratory journeys of any shorebird. It breeds on the high Arctic tundra of Alaska and Canada and winters in the grasslands of central and southern South America.

Notes:

The first picture is a non-breeding plumage bird, and the second still has most of its breeding plumage.
