About These Birds
Rufous-chested Plover
Rufous-chested Plover (Charadrius modestus) is a medium 22–24 cm plover of South American grasslands. Sandy-brown above; distinctive chestnut breast-band in breeding plumage; white supercilium. Inhabits open short grasslands, steppe, and coastal flats from southern South America; winters north to southern Brazil. Migratory. Feeds on invertebrates.
Spot-breasted Lapwing
Spot-breasted Lapwing: 28–30 cm, Ethiopian highland endemic lapwing with a black head and breast spotted white, and red legs. Restricted to high-altitude moorland and montane grassland above 1,800 m in Ethiopia. Insectivorous. Sedentary; rare and little-studied. Declining due to overgrazing and agricultural encroachment.
