Semipalmated Plover
Why do birds in a nest always agree?
Because they don’t want to fall out.
Interesting Fact: The Semipalmated Plover has been seen to swim short distances across small water channels during foraging while on migration. Chicks also swim short distances to follow parents to small islets on shallow lakes. ( https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Semipalmated_Plover/lifehistory )

Welcome
Swimming bird. Have to think on this. I wonder if he paddles with his feet, or swims with his beak? Is that right? Does a bird have a “beak?” Lol Love your knowledgeable posts!! Thank you for sharing all the uniquely beautiful birds I have never seen or heard of before:) :):)
Yea the do have a beak, hahaha. I am not sure what they use to swim but I think they light enough to stay a float and I would think they kick their feet to move. Thank you very much for stopping by and sharing your thoughts. Happy Blogging! 🙂
Light enough to float. .nice:)
Oops I meant lite enough to float. Sorry about that. 🙂
I have seen this bird in my neighborhood. Did not know that it can swim. As usual your post provided me some new knowledge.
I am super glad that I can share my photos and information with you. I always enjoy learning new things. Thank you very much for stopping by and Happy Blogging! 🙂
😀 she is probably scared of water..
She might be, but may she is the one that never learn how to swim. 🙂 Thank you very much for stopping by and checking out my work. Happy Blogging! 🙂
Your photo catalog of birds is truly impressive. Have considered publishing a book?
Thank you very much, I would love to do that someday. We will see what kind of plans this life have in storage for me. Happy Blogging! 🙂
