(Greetings All)
I was given an Mi'kmaq name (Jiju'jij) for a "Speckled Plover". I have tried to
match this English name to the plovers or sandpipers but have come up empty
handed. Can anyone help me out? What bird used to be called the "Speckled
Plover?" The Mi'kmaq name refers to the probing motion that characterizes
Plover or Sandpiper feeding. Very interesting how the names for the
plovers/sandpipers all refer to the probing motion but each is slightly
different pronunciation/spelling to reflect the various species.
Any help is appreciated.
