Southern Lapwing

 

Another bird that seemed fairly common on Aruba was the Southern Lapwing seen here in the rain. Southern Lapwing are a raucous, conspicuous shorebird. They have a distinct color pattern with black breast, white belly, gray head, and bronzy shoulder.


The wings are boldly patterned in flight and are often in pairs or small flocks in open habitats, usually near water but also in dry pastures.
