Plovers ( / ˈ p l ʌ v ər/ PLUV-ər, [1] also US: / ˈ p l oʊ v ər/ PLOH-vər) [2] are a widely distributed group of wading birds belonging to the subfamily Charadriinae. The birds have a wide range of calls which can be heard at any time of the day or night: the warning call, a loud defending call, courtship calls, calls to its young, and others. Since the bird lives on the ground, it is always alert and, even though it rests, it never sleeps properly.

I didn't give this book as many stars as Mink River simply because none of the characters had quite the same pull for me as Cedar did and the seagull never flat-out spoke the way Moses did, which I kept hoping would happen. Nothing is quite as thrilling as a talking bird. Still The Plover is a fantastic companion (or, if you haven't read Mink River, stand-alone) novel. I'll have to get my hands on my very own copy ASAP.
