Earlier this May at Doran Regional Park, we enjoyed a variety of shorebirds in various stages of transition to breeding plumage. We watched them for over an hour as they foraged, rested, flushed from dogs, preened, scratched their faces, relocated, and loafed some more.
It was fun and challenging to pick apart the various species as they idled about, particularly when their bills were tucked away. So, we put together this quiz of mystery loafers!
