#BirdOfTheDay | #BirdBuddies | #blackbelliedplover & #commontern

I'm not sure these are buddies but they are definitely different species. A plover drops in on a tern. #birdphotography #birdsofmassachusetts #gooseberryisland
A Black-bellied Plover, in transition from breeding to winter plumage, has landed on a small rock occupied by a Common Tern. The plover's wings are raised showing black wingpits. The tern is facing away but turned back, bill open, probably complaining about space invasion.

Black-bellied Plovers visiting the southern tip of Gooseberry Island in various stages of molting. Bonus photo-bombing Spotted Sandpiper and Short-billed Dowitcher. #blackbelliedplover #bird #birdphotography #gooseberryisland #birdsofwestportma #birdsofmassachusetts
Black-bellied Plover I dunno. A first year? A bird further in molting? A Black-bellied Plover at the bottom left of the frame, with a Spotted Sandpiper flying by in the upper right. A Black-bellied Plover stands on the right, facing away from the camera. The head and neck of a Short-billed Dowitcher pop up from behind a rock on the left side of the frame.

4 black-colored birds from my life list on Black Friday!

I use Chinese ink for black in my paintings, with Winsor and Newton watercolors.

Here's a Black Bellied Plover. A little known fact about Black Bellied Plovers is that they are nearly as qualified as Pete Hegseth to head the DOD.
