The joyful Miss Wilson



I pulled over in the parking lot at the beach and met a Wilson's Plover taking a bath. She didn't mind my taking pictures as long as I stayed in the car. That was fine by me because I could lean my heavy 200 lens on the car window. Her spa time took over 20 minutes, she was intent on a full bath. She is not only getting clean but most importantly rearranging her feathers. She was so enthusiastic that at the end she jumped two feet straight up in the air landed in the water and jumped right back up again. By the way I have no idea whether she is a she or a he so I'm going with the she.
