Snowy Plover

Anarhynchus nivosus

Least Concern

The Snowy Plover is a shorebird of American coasts, sandbars, and open shorelines. 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.
