The Two-banded Plover is a small shorebird with a distinctive double breast-band, found in southern South America. It prefers open, often saline, coastal and inland wetlands.
Where to spot
Coastal areas, estuaries, saline lagoons, and open grasslands in southern South America, including Chile, Argentina, and the Falkland Islands.
How to spot
Scan open mudflats, sand beaches, or saline margins. Look for its characteristic 'stop-and-run' foraging behavior. The two distinct breast bands are key identification features.
When to spot
Present year-round in much of its range, though some populations undertake short migratory movements. Active during daylight hours.
