Piping Plover

Back to one of my favorite birds.. the Piping Plover... she lays her eggs on the beach, above the tide line.. I love their nesting ideas... the male bird gathers stones and shells together to make a nest... and the female picks which one she likes... too cute...

I hope to paint a big picture of them...these are sketches.....

I am looking forward to going East.. this summer... I miss the salt water.. so it brings be joy to paint the shore birds... and study them...
