Field Notes

Habitat:

Nest on pebbles, gravel, peat, tundra heath, or sand in subarctic and arctic environments. During migration and the nonbreeding season, Semipalmated Plovers forage on mudflats and muddy margins of many kinds (in freshwater, brackish, and saltwater environments).

Notes:

A small flock of nonbreeding adults was foraging on the exposed rocky seabed during low tide. One of them (see pic 2 ) was missing a leg.
