Semipalmated plovers

Semipalmated plovers (Charadrius semipalmatus) out at the cove north of Fort Sewell. The markings: black eyes, black ring around neck, black tip of tail feathers, off-white eye ring, black beak---stalking the beach for worms and finding them. Where did they get the idea for worms? How do they know where they are? Which was the first to try this delicacy? Was there some Host that introduced them to such a cuisine?
