Killdeer Plover on Sandy Beach Habitat
Saturday, January 24th, 2026 at 11:38:50 PM · 2026/Drakes Beach Elephant Seal Pups
A Killdeer (Charadrius vociferus) stands alert on a sandy beach area dotted with dry grass stubble and sparse green shoots. The small shorebird's characteristic brown upperparts, white underside, and bold black double breast bands are clearly visible. The bird appears to be foraging in a typical coastal habitat, with footprints visible in the disturbed sand around it. The shallow depth of field creates a soft bokeh effect in the foreground while keeping the bird in sharp focus.
