Eye-level view of plover with white belly and brown back in shallow water against pink background.

The word “semipalmated” refers to the partial webbing of the toes of birds like the semipalmated plover. That’s a fail proof icebreaker for your next social gathering.

LIFER!! 🥳🎉🙌 Yesterday, I FINALLY spotted a Lazuli Bunting!! For years, it has evaded me, mocked me by singing high up in trees, unseen. Then yesterday it finally happened 🤩 So much excitement and joy! 🥰
I was out on a jazzy ride when this happened, and didn’t have my good camera, just my phone.
