Ron Bolander photographed this Snowy Plover at Manchester State Beach. The bird has four bands on its legs.

I'd be interested in learning why any bird needed four tags. Snowy Plovers are wading birds. Their numbers have been decreasing and their status is "Near Threatened." A flock of several dozen call Manchester State Beach home. Dogs are not allowed in that area to protect these birds. The Snowy Plover's call is a soft whistle. You can hear it at this link, which is the Cornell Lab of Ornithology: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Snowy_Plover/sounds

Thanks to Ron for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

Today started out cloudy, then the sun broke through. But the wind picked up and it's blowing pretty hard this afternoon. Rain for tomorrow, Sunday.
