Snowy Plover

According to Tom in the comments below, it is probably a juvenile. I had misidentified it prior to his response, and I definitely trust his knowledge. If you haven't checked out his spottings yet, please do. He has amazing photos!

Very sweet. Is this a juvenile bird... or an adult?

Agree Sainsley:)

I think it is cute

Thanks again Tom. I did find some images of immature snowy plovers, and I think you are spot on. Thanks for you help.

Thanks for the tip Tom. I was originally looking at snowy plover, but scratched it for some reason. Will look into it and change. Thanks.

Great pictures as usual Bill! You might want to look at an immature Snowy Plover as the ID. Charadrius mongolus doesn't breed in North America and would be a very rare find in our area.

Thanks kdpicturemaker:)

What a gorgeous little bird and a great series of photos of it.
