This species, apparentl^^ never could 1^ classed as abundant and of late years, it is becoming rather" rare our Atlantl^ coast; this is probably more due to the building of summer resorts and homes along their former breedin;; grounds than to hunters. They are rather more shy than the last species, but will usually attempt to es- cape by running along the beach or by hiding, rather than by flight. Owing to their light colors it is very difficult to see them at any distance. They lay their eggs upon the sandy beaches in slight, and generallv unllned. hollows. The eggs have a pale clay colored ground and are sparsely specked with small black dots. Size X â, ^ , riay Color. Ring Plover. Snowy Plover,. IM.
