About These Birds
Pacific Golden Plover
Pacific Golden Plover (Pluvialis fulva) is a medium 23–26 cm plover of remarkable migratory feats. Golden-speckled brown above; breeding plumage has black underparts and white flank stripe. Breeds on Siberian and Alaskan tundra; makes non-stop transoceanic flights to winter in Hawaii, New Zealand, and South-East Asia.
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.
