Shorebirds are migrating through from their Arctic breeding grounds. Adults usually migrate first. This Black-bellied Plover has already molted into winter (basic) plumage. In some parts of the world this species is called the "Grey Plover." It was formerly in its own genus, Squatarola, but was merged into Pluvialis by the AOU in 1973.
