While taking a little walk on a deserted beach at low tide
D spotted several birds...turned out to be the
Piping Plovers.

Nan and =^..^= said...: Hi Lori ann,
The Piping Plover is also protected here and
I zoomed in with my camera for I didn't want to frighten or disturb them! It's the first time I've seen that type of plover.; April 9, 2010 at 6:53 AM
Roses and Lilacs said...: Good morning Nan, what an interesting name for the bird. Don't think I've ever seen one in person. Glad they are protected.

Loved the photos of the doghouse birdhouse:)
