Semipalmated Plover - East Coast, USA
Semipalmated Plover feeding on a long sandworm:
Semipalmated Plover ( Charadrius semipalmatus ) stretching a worm out - Tri-state area, East Coast, USA
This worm put out a good fight. According to the EXIF data, it took 20 seconds for this plover to fully pull it out😮and another 30 seconds to eat it 😁
This photograph was taken at the location described on page 28 of my guide to photographing migrating shorebirds in the tri-state region: https://www.greggard.com/location-guides/shorebirds-tri-state-nj-ny-ct-photography-ebook

Early bird indeed gets a worm 😜 Originally, I was planning on including 9 spots but I ended up describing 15 of my favorite locations in this ebook. I hope you will have fun exploring these spots and you will get some amazing shots there as well!
