About These Birds
Pied Plover
Pied Plover: 22–24 cm, distinctive South American lapwing with bold black-and-white plumage, red facial skin, and long red legs. Inhabits open sandy riverbanks and gravel bars of major rivers from Venezuela south to Argentina. Feeds on invertebrates and small vertebrates. Largely resident; some local seasonal movements. Not globally threatened.
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.
