Plover - Alyssa Edwards

A small, sandy-colored shorebird with an orange and black bill and a black headband and neck collar stands on a gravel and sand beach among some small, sparse vegetation. Four cylinders representing the color band combination on its legs are in the lower left of the photo and are read as cobalt over orange on the left and green over light blue on the right. The light pink banner along the top reads 鈥淚n Memoriam鈥� followed by 鈥淎lyssa Edwards鈥� in purple text.
