Hello, could you advise me on a plover that has been coming into the 
very front of our home, even walking right up to our front door and 
looking at us.  The plover has allowed the kids to pick her up.
she has been hanging around for about 4 days now.  Follows us around the 
front yard, and even following us to our cars before we drive off.  She 
doesn't appear to be injured or sickly. The road behind us has large 
flat land where we have seen the birds nest.  Any insight on what is 
happening with this plover as I have never seen this behaviour before, 
and am totally intrigued.  Thanks so much Lorretta
