	Killdeer - LoveToKnow 1911
		About the size of a snipe, it is mostly sooty-brown above, but showing a bright buff on the tail coverts, and in flight a white bar on the wings; beneath it is pure white except two pectoral bands of deep fl.
		It is one of the finest as well as the largest of the group commonly known as ringed plovers or ring dotterels,' forming the genus Aegialitis of Boie.
		Mostly wintering in the south or only on the sea-shore of the more northern states, in spring it spreads widely over the interior, breeding on the newly ploughed lands or on open grass-fields.

	Birds - Piping Plover
		Around the great lakes scattered flocks are seen in the migrations chiefly; but it is on the secluded Atlantic beaches, comfortably distant from seaside resorts, that we find the piping plover most abundant.
		The Belted Piping Plover (AEgialitis meloda circumcincta), a western representative of the preceding, differs from it only in having the fl links on the breast joined to form a band.
		The Mountain Plover (AEgialitis montana), a distinctly prairie bird, rather than a mountaineer, has grayish brown upper parts, the feathers margined with chestnut; the white under parts grow yellowish on breast, but without belt or patches; the front of the crown and the cheeks fl.

	Birds - True Plovers
		They are small birds, mostly between five and a half and eight inches in length, with a small, rather slender bill, and short tail, the central pair of feathers being brown at the base instead of white, as in the Lapwings, while the plumage of the upper parts is of plain coloration.
		semipalmata), which is sometimes removed to a separate genus (AEgials) on the ground that the outer toe is joined by a web to the middle one, is found throughout North America, nesting in the far north and spending the winter in South America or the West Indies.
		It is described as a rather silent bird, frequenting, usually in small parties, the salt marshes, sandy beaches, and mud flats, left bare by the receding tide.

		Wilson (1890:244) writes, discussing Aegialitis annulata: "The petiole is of considerable length, and amplexicaul to a great degree.
		It might be added that Aegialitis is considered a relict in the mangroves of the tropics of southeast Asia and north Australia, not closely related to any of the remaining members of Plumbaginaceae (which are predominantly more temperate).
		The glands on the surface of the leaves probably serve the purpose of secreting the excess of salt taken up with the brackish water the plants grow in.

	Mangal (Mangrove)
		Examples of salt excretion are Avicennia, Aegialitis annulata (family Plumbaginaceae), Aegiceras, and Acanthus ilicifolius (family Acanthaceae).
		Another mechanism to avoid toxic levels of ions is to produce succulence, i.e., dilution of salts via having watery tissues.
		The classic example of vivipary is Rhizophora mangle, which is able to traverse broad ocean regions by producing large seedlings that float horizontally, undamaged by salinity.

	Trees & their adaptations
		Most species seem to be able to exclude most salt by special physiological adaptations in their roots which actively return salt to the environment, so the sap in these trees is much less salty than the water surrounding the roots.
		Members of the genera Avicennia, Ageiceras, Aegialitis, Acanthus, Sonneratia and Laguncularia have an additional mechanism for dealing with excess salt, for they posess salt-excreting glands on the either the lower surface (e.g.
		Avicennia) or both lower and upper surface of their leaves (e.g.
