Animal of the Day!

Western Snowy Plover (Charadrius alexandrinus nivosus)

(Photo from Audubon California)

Conservation Status- Vulnerable

Habitat- Western coastal United States; Western coastal Mexico

Size (Weight/Length)- 15 cm

Diet- Crustaceans; Insects

Cool Facts- The western snowy plover depends on a very specific habitat for survival. They live on sandy beaches and wade into the shallow water as it laps at the shore. They’re professionals at flicking out coquina clams from the sand and chasing brine flies. Western snowy plovers and their home is protected under the Endangered Species Act due to the slow dilapidation of beaches from to a mixture of tourism and changing currents sweeping sand away. During spring, nesting beaches are carefully roped off and protected to ensure that these puffballs have a chance of a comeback.

Rating- 13/10 (Plovers, in general, are some of the cutest birds.)

Beautiful shine for this antique (?) silver obidome, with opal, amethyst and jade inlays over onyx ground.

It depicts auspicious nami chidori (plovers on the waves). As many tiny birds, plovers are part of traditional wintery kigo (seasonal words).

Golden plover! They nest on dry tundra in the arctic, and winter in South American plains, up to 20,000 miles away!

[ID: an illustration of a plover with a dark underside, golden dorsal side, and a white stripe in the middle. It faces left and is surrounded by grasses on a green background. End.]

Kenyan birds super-set

I am not a birder by any stretch, and struggle to photograph birds (so much moving around! so many branches!). But Kenya is absolutely packed with remarkable birds, and there were a couple of nice birders in our group. So, I learned about lots of birds just by having them around.

Along with the showstopper birds like the lilac-breasted roller, the secretarybird, and the goliath heron, there were hundreds of gorgeous birds where I barely caught a photo, and plenty of less flashy species that were just fascinating to watch. So, here are a few of them. I didn't caption the individual photos, but did try to list them all in the tags.
