Piping Plover doing its signature foot tapping dance. The vibrations bring worms and invertebrates to the surface to make them easier to catch.

I’ve posted this behavior before, but it doesn’t get old for me. They’re so fun to watch. A few other shorebirds are known to do a similar move, but for me this is a trademark of the Piping Plover.

As a side note, I have Piping Plover 2026 calendars available on my website now. The link is in my bio. Thanks so much. :)
