Nature Walks – Mountain Plover – A Jeanne in the Kitchen

Today was the first day in quite awhile that not only was it NOT hot, but it was very cool and pleasant. It was a perfect day for a beautiful walk. I even made a new friend today. I met a couple of Mountain Plovers out by the lake. I thought it was a Spotted Sandpiper at first, but when I came back and started editing my pictures, I noticed it was different. So I hit my bird book and learned something new. 🙂

Even though the name is Mountain Plover, it is really kind of misleading. These birds prefer the lowlands to the mountains. They actually like the prairie shortgrass. They like to visit us from April-August. So I guess I just got lucky today. I love meeting new friends.
