Plover is a type of shorebird belonging to the family Charadriidae. These birds are typically small to medium-sized and are known for their round bodies, short necks, and long legs. Plovers are often found in coastal areas, wetlands, and sandy beaches, where they feed on insects, crustaceans, and small invertebrates. They are recognized for their distinctive calls and are often seen running along the shore, stopping to peck at the ground.
There are several species of plovers, including the Killdeer and the Snowy Plover. These birds are known for their unique nesting habits, often laying eggs in shallow depressions in the sand. Plovers are also important indicators of environmental health, as they rely on clean habitats for feeding and breeding
