The Eastern Shore is an amazingly diverse home to much wildlife. Here you will find a window to view some of what I have been graced to capture.
Enjoy!
The Ringed Plover Charadrius hiaticula is a small plover.
They nest on the ground in an open area with little or no plant growth.
If a potential predator approaches the nest, the adult will walk away from the scrape, calling to attract the intruder and feigning a broken wing. Of course, once the intruder is far enough from the nest, the plover flies off.
