Western Snowy Plovers may be a vulnerable bird on the central coast, but not Pat the Plover. He has spread his flappers and is keeping an eye on the vineyards, restaurants and beaches while Santa Maria Valley residents stay sheltered. Peel the gourd of a luffa? Check. Barbecue over bugs? Yes, please. Sip wine off the vine? Cheers to that. His plover patrol is in full swing.

Pat knows what's really important, wine.
Pat has flexed his agricultural knowledge, or lack of, in the fields.
He's also jumped on all the cool quarantine trends, like the bread baking obsession.
Not all the birds share Pat's enthusiasm, though.
Pat expanded his palate with local cuisine.
He's gotten in tune with other local wildlife. Butterflies beware.
"When you're a plover, every hour is happy hour."

Name a plover with more headwear, we dare you.
Peeling the gourd off a luffa can't be easy without thumbs.
