Description
This is a Semipalmated Plover. This bird breeds up in in Northern Canada, but is a common migrant in fall and spring across much of the United States and Canada.
This picture was taken at Sandy Hook NWR, in New Jersey. I was out on the beach and came across this tidal pool where alot of these plovers and some Piping Plovers were foraging for food. I sat down and waited around 45 mins. In that time, this plover worked its way over to by where I was and started feeding. I snapped this picture as it was walking near me and than continued to watch the bird until he was far enough away, so that when I left, I wouldn't disturb the bird. During the whole period, the bird never looked scared, or noticed I was there.

James, Excellent photo of this Plover walking the beach, great details of this bird show very clearly and the clarity of the water the small amount of it washing up on shore is excellent
