Definition of plover in English English dictionary

Any of various wading birds of the family Charadriidae

{n} a bird of several species

A plover is a bird with a rounded body, a short tail, and a short beak that is found by the sea or by lakes. Any of about 36 species (family Charadriidae, order Charadriiformes) of plump-breasted shorebirds found almost worldwide. Plovers are 6-12 in. (15-30 cm) long and have long wings, longish legs, a short neck, and a straight, short bill. Many species are plain brown, gray, or sandy above and whitish below. Others, including the golden and black-bellied plovers, are finely patterned above and black below in breeding season. Many species run along the shoreline, snapping up small aquatic invertebrates. They have a melodious whistled call. Both parents incubate the two to five eggs and care for the young. See also killdeer
