American Golden Plover - a photo on Flickriver

            During the breeding season, American  Golden-Plovers dazzle with gold-spangled feathers and a jet-black face and breast. These graceful, long-winged shorebirds breed on arctic tundra, usually in lower, wetter slopes than the closely related Pacific Golden-Plover. Both species perform fluttery courtship flights, giving mellow calls. After breeding, American  Golden-Plovers head far out over the sea to spend winters as far away as Hawaii, New Zealand, Australia, Southeast Asia, and the Horn of Africa.
