These plovers are very abundant and I spent an entire morn ing on my second visit in trying to mark down a nest. It was only after lying at on the burning sandy beach for a quarter of an hour that I noticed one alight, and after a series of short runs finally settle down on its nest and con tents. This was the only nest I found. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
