Diana and I are spending January and February again on St. George Island in northern Florida.  About 1/3 of the 20-mile island is a state park.  Last Sunday I hiked along the beach at the park looking specifically for this bird, a Snowy Plover.  It's a small bird, only 6¼ inches long.  The Gulf Coast is one of the wintering areas in the United States for Snowy Plovers.  Some stay here year-round and others migrate to inland lakes in the southwestern U.S. to breed.
