Frequently asked questions

How many plovers are found in the Netherlands?

18 plovers that we profile appear on the Netherlands's eBird-reported checklist. The full A–Z list is on this page; the real total can shift as eBird records are added.

Are all of these plovers really found there?

Yes — each one is on the Netherlands's eBird checklist (reported by birders to the Cornell Lab's eBird), and each of these plovers belongs to the family group named on this page. We don't rank them by abundance, because that varies by season and locale.
