Below is a closer view of a Semipalmated Plover. Click on the picture for a larger version. Look for the nice white edges to the feathers. This "scalloped" appearance is a telltale sign of a juvenile bird.
Although I'll always love seeing shorebirds up close, my other favorite view is when they're well camouflaged. The plover in the image below is a perfect match for the dried seaweed, sand, and shells.
