American Golden-Plover at McKinley Beach in Milwaukee County Wisconsin on September 2, 2025

By | | ,

A beautiful American Golden-Plover was giving great views this morning at Pebble Beach which is just north of McKinley Beach. The bird was feeding on the algae mats along the waters edge finding things to eat. They walk, stop, must listen, then make a quick poke in the algae getting something to eat. It happens very, very fast. Also present was a Sanderling. It was a beautiful morning out early with a small breeze, mostly sunny skies. Images were taken on September 2, 2025.
