Piping Plovers by the Shore

Piping Plovers are small coastal shorebirds found along sandy beaches, tidal flats, and shoreline habitats of North America's Atlantic Coast, Great Lakes region, and northern Great Plains. Their soft gray-brown plumage provides excellent camouflage among rocks, sand, and coastal vegetation. This watercolor captures a gathering of Piping Plovers resting beside the water, highlighting the quiet beauty of these beloved beach birds and their seaside environment.
