The rains finally ended, and the fields of Park Point were some perfect mud flats for migrating shorebirds yesterday morning. Although some pesky clouds were still hanging around, the winds out of the North brought quite a few migrating plovers into the Duluth area. I had fun watching this Black-Bellied Plover for about 1/2 hour … and it helped me out by posing with various other birds.

Two more shorebird pics … from my recent bike tour … Short Billed Dowitchers
Wow, that black-bellied plover is quite the “Looker”
