Wilson's Plover, 2/21/14 Tigertail Beach, Marco Island FL

A few photos of Wilson's Plover, a long sought after  plover, found at Tigertail Beach on Marco Island, south of Naples, FL.  A few record shots of Wilson's Plover with a Sanderling for size comparison; notice impressive bill on the Wilson's (much thicker and more powerful than the Sanderling's), well designed for digging crabs out of the sand, as it has done in photo #1.
