What a beautiful view of this group, JJ. Love the lighting on that shallow water.

Seen on their own, Dunlins seem bigger to me and Plovers smaller, but seen together the Plovers are GIANTS compared to the tiny dunlins.

Fabulous group picture of these two species together. You really get a feel for the difference in size with this picture. Terrific low camera view JJ! TFS!
