Collared Plover

Costa Rica

www.texastargetbirds.com

These little cuties turned up on our March trip to Costa Rica and were just too difficult to pass up. There are just a couple of records of Collared Plover for the US and thought it is an expected species in Costa Rica it isn’t one we often encounter. For this reason it seemed worth spending some extra time getting some really nice shots and while going through my images I think the time investment was worth it. This look was MUCH better than the ones I got back in 2014 when one turned up in Texas.

I remember the one seen in Texas back in 2014. That was the same time I saw the Amazon Kingfisher..The collard was too far away for me to get a good shot. Nice shot on these, Greg!
