Wilsons Plover

Anarhynchus wilsonia

(L 7.75" WS 19" Wt 1.4 oz)

Huguenot Memorial
Park

02Feb2012

Breeds on the east US shore and
Mexico coast...winters in Florida
and So. and Cent. America.

Birding is no longer the realm of a
few slightly dotty seniors and
obsessive teenaged boys...it‘s
utterly conventional, absolutely
mainstream.

Anarhynchus is Greek for
backwards bill.
