http://birdstring.blogspot.com/2015/08/black-bellied-plover.html
A place to share about birds in their natural habitat and admire their unique beauty. Sunday, August 9, 2015. Some of our shorebirds go through amazing changes with seasons and breeding, one of these happens to be the Black-bellied Plover. When I first started to embark into the 'birding' journey - I often wondered about the reasoning behind the bird's name. This is a prime example.where is the black belly? This is more like it. So, how does one recognize a bird you might ask. Labels: Black belly Plovers.

But so far we are still looking for any Canada or Nashville Warblers or such that may come our way. Swainson's, American Redstarts.
