Description
I was birding right before sunset, during the golden hour when the sun lights up everything visible. When I noticed this group of shore birds nearby, working their way down the beach, feeding for migration. I decided to sit down and wait for the birds to walk/feed past me. As they worked closer and eventually walked past me, paying no attention to me, this Wilson's Plover flew in and landed closely behind the group of birds. This is a photo of him as he worked his way past me. H e did notice me with my camera, but after a few seconds, he continued feeding and walked past me. This bird is not a migrant, but breeds on the beaches in Florida.
