These guys are also quite a common sight along the waters edge and only in fact have a black belly during the breeding season

Excellent shot Stan. I found them quite skittish when I was there.

Re: Black Bellied Plover

thanks for looking guys

I found them quite skittish when I was there.

yes they were - had to pan for most shots but the movement adds some interest. Here is another with a sandy background

Two more splendid images Stan, don't know if I have seen these and probably thought they were Dunlin, next time in Florida I will shoot everything and then post them for ID

they are about half as big again than a dunlin Alan and look very different during the breeding season

Re: Black Bellied Plover

Both images are very good but I think I prefer #2.

Re: Black Bellied Plover

Cheers Brian

I agree, those golden tones of the second set the bird off well
