Why it matters
The mountain plover is a uniquely terrestrial shorebird, favoring the dry, shortgrass prairies of the western United States over the wetlands typically associated with its family. Because its population has declined due to habitat loss and conversion of native grasslands, it is highly valued by birders and conservationists who prize sightings of this elusive, cryptically colored species.
