Pacific Golden-Plover

Pluvialis fulva

Least Concern

The Pacific Golden-Plover is a shorebird of East Asian flyways, northern breeding grounds, and Indo-Pacific wintering coasts. It uses its bill, legs, and alert flight to feed on invertebrates, seeds, or small aquatic prey along coasts, mudflats, rivers, lakes, grasslands, or open ground; many shorebirds make impressive seasonal movements between breeding and non-breeding areas.
