About These Birds

Semipalmated Plover

Semipalmated Plover: 17–19 cm, compact North American plover with a single black breast-band, orange-yellow bill tipped black, and partial toe webbing unique among small plovers. Breeds on Arctic and boreal gravel shores; winters along both American coasts to southern South America. Feeds on invertebrates. Common migrant.

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.
