Plovers belong to the goup of birds called shorebirds. They are among the most difficult birds to identify. Some species are quite similar to other species and their calls are the only true way to distinguish one from the other. Most of these birds will change from a colourful plumage in their breeding season to dull greys and browns in the fall and winter months.
