About These Birds

Mountain Plover

Mountain Plover: 21–23 cm, plain buffy-brown North American plover lacking a breast-band; unique in being a grassland rather than waterside species. Breeds on dry shortgrass prairie and shrub-steppe of western Great Plains; winters in California agricultural fields and southern Texas. Insectivorous. Declining. NT.

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.
