The American golden plover

The American golden plover, is a medium-sized plover. The genus name is Latin and means relating to rain, from "pluvia", "rain". It was believed that golden plovers flocked when rain was imminent. The species name "dominica" refers to Santo Domingo, now Hispaniola, in the West Indies.
