シロチドリ営巣
July 4, 2016
These two Kentish Plovers were doing distraction displays to protect their chicks, but are they both females? Don't male Kentish Plovers take part in raising the young?
p.s. Apparently at this time of year feather wear is so heavy that it becomes hard to tell males from females. I was told the individual on the left is a male. The distinguishing point is that the lateral breast band is black. A researcher from Bird Research explained this to me.
