Taken this past Wednesday on a foggy morning with the tide coming in almost half way. These semipalmated plovers & their larger American Golden counterparts do their bathing ritual after the water overwhelms the sand flats, where they feed, and pushes them to the pebbled part of the beach. They typically jump into the air and flag their wings a few times afterwards and then proceed to preening.
I was actually looking to shoot the 'jump-and-flap' routine of the American Golden plovers but luck was not with me, although I'm not unhappy with getting a decent full-frontal shot of this semipalmated doing the same Comments appreciated & thanks for looking.
