Plovers!!

While on assignment in SoCal last week the team decided to head off site for lunch and I was introduced to Jalama Beach in Lompoc. As folks were heading off to find a nice picnic table and play with some California gulls I noticed an area that was literally jumping! Couldn't believe our luck when I saw the tiny balls of jumping feathers were Snowy Plovers -- Lunch was immediately forgotten as I snuggled deep into the warm sand, inching close enough to snap some pics of this adorable species.
