Piping Plover again

Working on my painting of the Piping Plover... I just love this little bird that makes a depression in the sand and lays it's eggs... actually the male makes the nest and decorates it for his mate.She then picks out the best nest...:).. love it
In all the photos I have seen , each nest is different... so they have very creative plovers out there.... some use shells..others use seaweed... and others use just debris of all kinds..
They have no other protection..just out in the open.. no wonder they are on the endangered species list...
