Pacific golden plover (Pluvialis fulva)


During the breeding season, Pacific golden plovers dazzle with gold-spangled feathers and a jet-black face and breast. These graceful, long-winged shorebirds breed on arctic tundra, usually in lower, wetter slopes than the closely related American golden plover. Both species perform fluttery courtship flights, giving mellow calls. After breeding, Pacific golden plovers head far out over the sea to spend winters as far away as Hawaii, New Zealand, Australia, Southeast Asia and the Horn of Africa.
