It’s the largest plover you will find in North America and it loves our beaches! Migrating from as far away as Massachusetts and British Columbia, the Black-bellied Plover is named for its solid black breeding plumage from face to belly.
During our winter months, the plover displays a non-breeding plumage with a lighter colored breast, white belly and black and grey back. It’s quite simply a beautiful shorebird in all seasons!
